I spent so many years (after trusting Jesus for salvation!) frustrated with not being able to overcome sin. I have learned three things that have helped, and I want to share them:
1.) Keep a firm grip on the truth about who I am in Christ. The old, sinful self is dead and God has given every Christian the gift of righteousness (Romans 6:6, 5:17).
2.) Depend on the Spirit and not self.
3.) Take emotional pain to Jesus and talk to Him about it. So much of my bad temper has turned out to be a result of fear that was in my heart because of believing lies. Jesus will reveal the root of pain, the lies perpetuating it, and the truth that sets us free. And a close encounter with Him and His love is very very healing. He gives us joy instead of mourning (Isaiah 61:3)
