Overcoming sin and the ability to live in victory over sin is a key question in the kingdom and the life of a Christian.
The answer must be breathed by God's Spirit into your spirit. A normal logical answer of YES or NO is not good enough.
Please bear with me here. The answer is “spiritual” not “practical”. The scripture seem to contradict themselves if take by the human understanding. The Natural man as Paul calls it in Corinthians.
The answer must be breathed into you heat by the Spirit. The apparent contradictions in various verses are reconciled in your spirit by God’s spirit.
22. that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,23. and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,24. and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:22-24
The reason the answer must come form the Spirit of God is because the power to comply also comes by that same Spirit.
Don’t fear, Believe!
9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 10. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:9-10
Those who sin are children of the Devil.
7. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.8. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:7-8
It takes time to be born of God and there is process during which things appear as a contradiction and messy.
8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.9. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
1 John 1:8-10
11. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.13. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.14. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.15. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.16. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:11-16
