The good news for us 'Christians', is found in the next verse- And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (1Co 6:11 KJB). For any of you today that are 'fighting' or 'battling' against these sins which were a part of your life before your conversion to Christ, and after, allow me to encourage you with good news; there's still hope for 'deliverance'! Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (Ga 1:3-4 KJB). All you have to do (& keep doing perpetually & continually unto the rapture or death), is go to God in prayer and ask your Saviour Jesus Christ to DELIVER you from those sins. Jesus Christ wants to keep helping you overcome those past sins, struggles, hurts and faults you still might be carrying form the old life. Do not flee from Him, run to Him! Don't let your failures keep you down on the floor, get back up and keep running to Him, until you get the 'victory' you need FROM those sins. I too once was lost, and fought against such sins as listed above. But, I finally surrounded my heart's desires for those things, to Jesus, and He delivered me from those things! God still loves you friend. He does not you to continue living in those sins, snares, weights that will hinder your joy in this walk and relationship with Him. The inheritance He gave you since your conversion, is far more powerful that any ‘lust, sin, desires’ of your flesh; for it’s the power of the Holy Spirit that is in you, and available for your help daily (Eph 1:13-14, Gal 5). So today, let’s keep running to Jesus. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb 4:16 KJB). There IS Mercy, Grace & help always available for you to deliver you from your past, your old-life, and those sins “which doth so easily beset us”. In love- Brother Carlos.
