Even then, it can be touch-and-go for the committed believer. The old nature has to be starved.
well that’s the problem, the left are FEEDING the nature, by making sin acceptable- and so people lose their shame about sin because society ‘accepts’ it in large enough numbers that those who object are now seen and portrayed as ‘haters’ and ‘old fashioned’ and as ‘fundamental right wing extremists’- Satan surely is conditioning society to become one that the bibles describes as ‘loving sin and hating the light’. Heck, it’s even become the norm for men and women to casually ‘hook up, and for a woman to murder an infant inside her womb because the child would be an inconvenience and a hindrance and impediment to their deviant lifestyle- whereas 20-30 years ago women and men were ashamed for having a child out of wedlock. Live a deviant lifestyle, then murder the results when it happens, and people just shrug their shoulders? Thanks to the left, that is now how society works- The left have lost the ability to even feel shame any longer, Yet they try to shame people of morals into giving up those morals? What a sick twisted society we’;ve become!
