My point is . . . we have new "wants". You say, we cannot do what we want, but I don't want sin, and I imagine you don't either. Paul wrote that it's no longer I, but sin that lives in me. That nothing good live in me, that is, in my flesh.
The new man does not want sin.
Much love!
Yes, a new creature, created in Christ Jesus.
The old ~ with an unbelieving heart,
The new ~ with a believing heart.
Nobody and nothing could ever change that, not even the new man.
Blessed are those who were and who shall be created in Christ Jesus by God. For by grace they have all been saved yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Such amazing grace indeed!
Praise and glory and thanks be to God, the Savior of them all!
