Galatians 5:24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Taking control of the carnal nature is a very difficult task for some people, because they frequently fall back into sin. With some it’s easy losing their temper, with others it might be bad language, gossip, or many other problems. Why is it so difficult to gain victory over a situation? One night a little boy fell out of bed, so his mother asked him why it happened. He told her he guessed he was too close to the edge he got in. When you stay too close to the ways of the world, it will be easy to fall back into their ways. The secret of success in the Christian life is to see how close you can get to the Lord. Keep a very short list of things you have done wrong by going to the Lord as soon as you are reminded of wrong doing. He will immediately forgive you, and not hold it against you.
