How To Gain Victory Over Sin Andrew R Bernhardt

The most dangerous enemy the Christian has to fight is not Satan or the world, but the sinful desires of his own fleshly nature. Peter said these desires war against our souls. This is a book for the Christian who is tired of losing battles in his personal war with sin. He echoes the apostle Paul's cry for help: "What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?" In his letter to the believers at Rome, Paul described his own battles with sin-battles he repeatedly lost in spite of his best efforts. He had to learn victory cannot come through will-power. If we're honest with ourselves, we will admit the same thing. But then God showed Paul the only way to overcome sin: through the power of the Holy Spirit. Discover what the Bible says about the root cause of our practical sin problem and the role the Holy Spirit has in dealing with it. Then, join Paul as he exclaims, "I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord!" This second edition updates the original content and adds new content.
