This is our understanding,...........
..........the strength of sin is the Law (1 Corinthians 15:56).
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).
.......the law works wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression (Romans 4:15).
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:2-4).
"what if I choose to continue to set my desire on wealth and possessions even though sin can't make me do it anymore? "
He who overcomes (overcomes the world - John 16:33) will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son (Revelation 21:7).
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (1 John 2:15-16).
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not to death (1 John 5:17).
If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does righteousness has been born of Him (1 John 2:29).
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the Devil: everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God, also he who does not love his brother (1 John 3:10).
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
...............He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, (Titus 3:5).
Believers are reconciled to God and saved by being quickened together WITH Christ when forgiven of all trespasses by repenting and confessing their sins;
Believers overcome the world to be heirs of GOD IN Christ (born of the Spirit and raised incorruptible in the Kingdom of God);
Born again believers are conformed to the image of the Son to be a king or priest OF Christ (sanctified completely and "changed" to put on immortality - "perfection").
........and the "dead" in Christ shall rise first (1 Thessalonians 4:16b).
May GOD bless,.......
