Fight As A Justified Sinner
- Do not fight to earn God's acceptance; accept justification by faith alone in Christ.
- Then fight sin as a justified sinner, knowing your guilt is covered and victory is possible.
Only Covered Sins Can Be Defeated

- Seeing your sin as covered empowers effective war on temptation and joylessness.
Micah's Fall, Wait, And Rise
