Romans 6: 14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 8: 1There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 13For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Being submitted to God includes utilizing the Helper that God gave us, the Holy Spirit. Rather than pursuing perfection through righteous acts, we choose to accept that through Jesus’ sacrifice (Hebrews 10:14) we have already been made perfect (our spirits). We focus on being obedient to the Spirit to allow our souls (mind, will, emotions) and flesh to align themselves with the third of us that is already perfect.

So no longer frustrate yourself with not ‘getting it right’, and instead put your efforts into obeying the Spirit -asking His permission, relying on His strength, and renewing your mind continuously.
