7 Battle Verses for Overcoming Sin - Part Two

Which Bible verses help you overcome sin and temptation? In part two of this series, Aaron and Jennifer Smith share battle verses three through seven to meditate on when you are fighting sin. They start with Romans 8 and the truth that there is no condemnation in Christ, drawing a key distinction between condemnation, which makes you feel cast out and push harder to earn salvation, and conviction, the Spirit lovingly pointing you back to who you are. They cover the Spirit and Jesus interceding for us (Romans 8:26, Luke 22:32), God granting everything for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3-4), children of God who practice righteousness (1 John 3), and confession (James 5:16). Aaron shares how confessing to his wife killed the flesh, and how remembering her grieved face became a real way of escape from future temptation.
