We have been called to overcome. We must understand the power and law of sin to overcome it. We must starve the sinful nature and feed the spiritual nature. Overcoming must include our initiative with reliance on God and the use of His power. A major tool in overcoming is the inspiration God gives us of our future. We must overcome our sinful nature, Satan’s temptations and deceptions and the world that has been misled under Satan’s influence.
