We often doesn't recognise the sinfulness of sin. The flesh has an allurement that sits itself to overwhelm the whole faculties of human existance with its dominion and its subtle assaults are often steath and silent.
Paul says in him dwell no good thing, meaning he is filled everwhere within himself, the vast influence of sin.
Yet Paul had an evidence of life that is consistently Christ.
Obedience is his life and trust in His life.
This worship is essential for overcoming the flesh. A thirst for His righteousness and a call to holiness of life.
It is a call to mourning and battle. A battle to abandon this no good thing with the Christ's victory with the presence and power of God with you. What better motivation do you need? An exaltation of Christ above all is that key that you must consistently open by the grace of His spirit to allow that wrestling with sin to be conquered by His calvery work of mortifying sin.
Would you, would you allow that?
