The penalty of sin is broken instantly, but the power of sin over our daily life is broken gradually as we walk with God.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞:
We don't do this by straining in our own human effort.
God sends the indwelling Holy Spirit into believers' hearts, giving them the supernatural desire and strength to abandon sin and actively serve Him.
