I do believe Jesus Christ can and does give the victory, and I know of many times in my life He has done just that. But I also believe there are many action words for us in these and many other verses which means we must make a decision to sin or not sin and wield the Sword of the Spirit, and live it. Resist the devil and he will flee...because of Christ.

Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

What a beautiful testimony of the grace of God and how He leads us in His paths of righteousness! Thanx so much for sharing. You put in words what we struggle with and then find victory in Christ! Sometimes it's hard to convey what our experiences are in this area of trials and temptations and you have definitely helped put things in a proper perspective
