When we enter the Kingdom of God, we are no longer the same person we used to be. ๐๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ฌโfrom glory to glory and from grace to grace. Our old desires, worldly thinking, and sinful habits no longer define us because ๐ฐ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ.
Paul tells us to "๐ฑ๐ถ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ" our earthly desires.
But how do we do that? The answer is simple, ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ๐. Kapag ang Diyos ang naghahari sa puso natin, hindi na tayo nabubuhay ayon sa sariling kaunawaan, sariling paniniwala, o sariling gusto. Pero kung hindi ang Kaharian ng Diyos ang naghahari sa puso natin, may ibang bagay ang nakaupo sa trono ng ating buhay.

Inside the Kingdom of God, sin no longer has dominion over us because Christ has already conquered it. However, habang naririto tayo sa mundo ay patuloy pa rin tayo haharap sa temptatios.

God calls us to live "๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด," allowing Him to gradually transform our hearts and lives.

Victory over sin begins in the mind. As we continually fill our minds with God's Word, our thinking changes. ๐จ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Our hearts always reveal who we truly are.
We were created in the image and likeness of God. ๐๐ข๐๐๐ speaks of God's character. ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ speaks of our purpose, assignment, and calling.
Binigyan tayo ng Diyos ng iba't ibang giftings, talents, at abilities para magmpanan ang assignment na ipinagkatiwala Niya sa atin. We can never be God, but we are called to ๐๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ข.
Scripture reminds us that sin desires to control us, but we must rule over it. A mind surrendered to God leads to a life surrendered to God.

Putting the old self to death means denying sinful desires and removing everything that takes God's rightful place in our hearts.
Idolatry is anything that sits on the throne where Christ alone should reign. This process of mortification is not merely avoiding sinโit is allowing God to continually transform us through His grace.
Do not live according to who you were. Live according to who God says you are.

Speak life, walk in obedience, and present every part of yourself to the Lord.

Ang buhay Kristiyano ay everyday process ng pagpapasakop at pagbabago. As we continually renew our minds, submit our hearts, and walk according to the Spirit, unti-unting nawawalan ng kapangyarihan ang kasalanan sa ating buhay. the Lord God is the One who works within us, giving us victory over sin and the schemes of the enemy.
