The Battle between Mind and Flesh

We have died to the law of sin and death and we have been raised to new life in Christ through His death and resurrection yet we continue to experience the struggle between our desire to do what is right and our inability to carry it out. Our experience is part of the ‘already but not yet’ paradigm of the Kingdom of God: we still have one foot in the flesh but our mind is being renewed through the power of the Holy Spirit.
