Give Your Sin A Name
- Name the specific sin or blemish in your character instead of speaking vaguely about faults.
- Confess that named blemish to the Lord so you can target it for true deliverance.
Write The Opposite Grace
- Write down the opposite grace to the blemish you named and commit to seeking it before God.
- Seek the fruit of the Spirit rather than merely trying to suppress the sinful behavior.
Put Off And Put On Together
- Transformation requires both putting off sin and putting on Christlike virtues simultaneously.
- Merely avoiding vice can worsen the problem unless you actively pursue holiness.
