For far too long, we have done things our own way, imagining and creating all sorts of vain theology in order to justify our sins. Lets get this straight--our own theologies will not save us from destruction nor prepare us for heaven. God is holy and within Him there is no sin. Thus, if we say that we have been completely set free from sin and are walking by His Spirit and not our flesh, then we too will be holy. Oh, but unfortunately, we fail miserably. Instead of walking by His Spirit, we walk by our flesh and say, think, or do the things of our flesh. We have got to overcome our flesh. When our flesh tempts us to do that which we should not do (gossip, greed, idolatry, angry outburst, lie, or any other wicked thing), then we need to cry out to God for help and let our fear of God persuade us to listen to and heed His Spirits voice. There is no other way that we can make it. We must yield our flesh to the changing power of the Word. Without transformation, we will not be saved. Yield to Jesus and let Him transform you---He is the Word who became flesh and gave His life for us. See John 1:14 and also Romans 8:9, 12-14, Galatians 5:16-23.
