John wrote: > OK -- let's confirm. > What about this David? She is correct. I continue to battle with the temptation to sin. I will say that I do not have the inner struggle described by Romans 7. I experienced that when my flesh was still alive, and I would probably experience it again if I were to indulge my flesh from time to time, but when I walk in the Spirit, I find that I do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. John Wesley taught that the young believer, although he does not sin, has inner struggles which the mature believer does not. The appetites of his flesh are not tamed and cause him more problems. The mature believer has less struggle because his entire being, thoughts, emotions, etc. have been habitually put in subjection to Christ. Peace be with you.
