Romans 7:17 PEV So really, it’s not us that does those bad things. It’s that bad part of us that is inside us.

We are spirits. We have a soul, and we live in a body. When we get born-again, our spirits are the only thing that changes. Our bodies, which are prone to sin and opposed to God (the flesh), can never be redeemed. Our souls, which consist of our mind, will, and emotions, can be transformed by the word of God or negatively influenced by our flesh.

Our sinful behavior is the result of our flesh getting its way due to an unrenewed mind. When we find ourselves engaging in sinful behavior, don’t identify with it. It’s not us. Remember, we are born-again spirits, which mean we’re righteous, holy, and sanctified in Christ Jesus. There’s no amount of sin that can make us unrighteous. So, even if we have a sinful binge, we can look ourselves in the mirror and say we’re righteous.

When we identify who we really are (the righteousness of God) and renew our minds with the word of God, our actions will line up with our true identity (2 Cor. 5:21).
