Breaking Free from Besetting Sin Through Scripture

Overcoming the sins that cling to us isn’t a battle of willpower. It requires fixing our eyes on Jesus and walking daily in the power of the Holy Spirit. First, “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us” (Hebrews 12:1–2). Remove anything that feeds the habit and keep under the covering of Christ’s blood. Second, reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to God (Romans 6:1–14). We don’t manage sin—we yield to God’s grace and claim the new life He’s given. Finally, rely on the Spirit within. “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free” (Romans 8:2). As you mortify fleshly deeds by the Spirit, you will experience true victory.
