Jesus gives us the power we need to overcome sin in our
life.
When we turn to Jesus and away from a lifestyle of sin, and
are baptized in His name Jesus, He forgives us and washes away all of our sins.
When He fills us with His Holy Ghost, He gives us the power we need to overcome
sin.
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in
all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." -
Acts 1:8
It is through His Spirit, the Holy Ghost, that we mortify
the deeds of our body, putting to death our old sinful habits that we had when
we were “living after the flesh.”
"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if
ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." -
Romans 8:13
Jesus promises us His Holy Ghost when we repent and are
baptized in His name.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God
shall call." - Acts 2:38-39
When we are connected to Jesus, full of His Spirit, we not
only have the power to overcome sin in our life, but the power to be fruitful
in the kingdom of God.
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing." - John 15:5 KJV
