       We cannot, and should not, try to do things from our own fleshly efforts, without God’s enablement and grace. Remember from last week, it is our belief in God’s help, belief that we can win over sin, that actually enables us to win. We have to believe. Trying with our own efforts, trying to follow the law, is not believing. It’s actually disobedience (more on this down the road). Romans 6:15: “What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness" (Romans 6:15-18, ESV).
