Call to overcome
If you allow the Holy Spirit to convict you, and you humble yourself and you repent, and then you seek to live differently with God’s help and power... This is the lifestyle and life pattern of the person who will one day live in paradise with God in the new heavens and new earth.
Never stiff-arm the correction of God in your life.
