[plugger]

well put......you mentioned the "pesky flesh, getting us to do wrong".....in my study of Romans in chap. 7: starting around verse 13 (I think) anyway Paul speaks of what he does is not what he is suppose to do.....now if a writer of a good part of the New Testament struggled with doing right and constantly walking the Christian walk, if he struggled what would ever make a 2024 Christian think they were free from the struggle. None of us are made perfect until we die and go to heaven, then we are perfect in God's eyes and WHY? all to do with Jesus Christ. Several places in the Scriptures it says we are to believe and that's it, just believe.... HUMMM, now many will just say I believe so I am saved.....what in Scripture does "believe " mean: ?-- from my Scofield Study Bible
"believes is more than an intellectual assent to a fact. The word (Greek pistes, noun; piste, verb; means adherence to, committal to, faith in, reliance
upon, trust in a person or object, and this not only involves the consent of the mind, but an act of the heart and will of the subject. "Whoever believes in Him". is equivalent to whoever trust in or commits himself to Him (Christ). "

Think of believe as glue.....we say we believe in Jesus--- but are we stuck to Christ as glue holds objects together
