Although the law God gave man through Moses was holy and good, it could not save any man because that was not its purpose. The purpose of the Mosaic law is not to take away our sins or help us overcome sins but to expose our sinfulness, humble us, and make us guilty before God. The Scripture amply reveals this truth…

You will never experience true victory over sin if your mind, focus, or attention is primarily on overcoming or stopping sin’s fruits, actions, or manifestations rather than getting rid of the root, source, or nature of sin in your heart. Your fight against sin is not against individual acts of sin but against your natural inclination, inner tendency, or propensity to sin…

Daily victory over the world is tied to taking up or bearing your Cross daily. It is not a one-time deal but an ongoing commitment to live, walk, or conduct yourself daily as one who is dead to the world but alive to God in Christ Jesus. The day you stop taking up your Cross, you will cease to overcome the world and follow Christ. Why will this happen?
