(James 3:2)
A Christian receives a new nature and the Spirit of God comes to
dwell in him it at the point of the "new spiritual birth." He still
has an old nature that wants to sin. When the Christian fails to
say no to temptation and depend upon God's Spirit, he sins. [b]The
difference, however, is that a Christian cannot be happy anymore
living in sin.
Jesus will sort out the true believers from the pretenders in His
time. [/b]
The part in bold... well spoken!
