was there a struggle against the temptation? What would you do in similar situation?
Answers
Answer:
We are all born with a sin nature. When we are born again by the power of God through Faith in god he gives us His Spirit nature. Now we have two natures in conflict with each other. Then it is our responsibility to exercise our God given free will to choose which nature to follow, flesh or Spirit. Before rebirth our will has no choice but to follow the only nature we have which is the flesh. After rebirth we get the choice back to follow the Spirit God gives. It's Gods will that we follow the Spirit rather than the flesh and He expects us to make the right choices. This is the struggle, before rebirth we follow the only nature we know. After rebirth the Power of The Holy spirit starts showing us how far we have fallen and how much we miss the mark. I believe that by acknowledging the struggle makes us aware that the Spirit is trying to get our attention
