Walking in this JD involves spiritual discernment
because we have to voluntarily separate ourselves from indwelling
sin
and choose against it daily as the apostle Paul
does in Romans 7:14 where he says that when he does what he hates it is not
him (the new man) but sin that dwells in him because in his flesh
dwells no good thing. Paul says the law is good and he delights in it
inwardly but there is another law working in his members (this is why we must
exercise our senses to discern between good and evil) - and walk after the
Spirit..... (Lest you argue that Paul is talking
about himself before Christ, he had been a believer for at least 20yrs when he
wrote the book of Romans).
