While I was doing my Bible study, something really stood out to me that the author said,
"Sanctification, the process of gradually becoming more and more like Christ as we cooperate with the Holy Spirit's work in us, is indeed a lifelong process, but each specific area of 'the flesh' in our lives need not remain an issue for our entire lives."
So, the process of becoming more Christ like is a life long journey ( ..."that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Christ Jesus").
However, that doesn't necessarily mean that each area of struggle in our lives, has to be a life long issue.
Whether it's overeating, lying, gossiping, drug addiction, fear or some other stronghold that we are struggling with, complete freedom is possible.
When we accept our new identity in Christ, and come in agreement with God that He has imparted us with self-control, we can experience freedom over specific areas of the flesh.
What good news!😊
