This to reinforce:  Romans 8:1. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 

Amen Kristen,we serve a might and great God!

What is Concupiscence?

KJV, Romans 7:8, But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 

Concupiscence usually refers to sinful physical desire, especially sexual longing or lust. The term is derived from the Latin word concupiscentia, meaning "a desire for worldly things.

[Christine]

 'Wherefore I also, 
.. after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, 
.... and love unto all the saints,
...... Cease not to give thanks for you, 
........ making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,  The Father of glory, 
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; 
.. that ye may know what is the hope of  His calling, 
and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, 
.. according to the working of His mighty power,
.... Which He wrought in Christ, 
...... when He raised Him from the dead, 
........ and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,
.......... Far above all principality, and power, and might, 
............ and dominion,  and every name that is named, 
.............. not only in this world,  but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under His feet, 
and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church,
.. Which is His Body, 
.... the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.'
(Ephesians 1:15-23) 

Praise The God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Waiting to see if anyone in our day and age will physically do this...

Luke 14:27-33

²⁷ Whoever does not carry his own cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow after Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me] cannot be My disciple. ²⁸ For which one of you, when he wants to build a watchtower [for his guards], does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to finish it? ²⁹ Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is unable to finish [the building], all who see it will begin to ridicule him, ³⁰ saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’ ³¹ Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one who is coming against him with twenty thousand? ³² Or else [if he feels he is not powerful enough], while the other [king] is still a far distance away, he sends an envoy and asks for terms of peace. ³³ So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not [carefully consider the cost and then for My sake] ^[a]give up all his own possessions.

[Coliseum]

Mark 9:22-24 (NIV)
^{22 b} But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."
²³  "'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."
²⁴  Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

To me, that is the most honest self-assessment I have read.

     Always a beautiful promise to ponder....

PSALM 103:10-12...

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.  For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.  

 

@PromisesPromises!  Praise the Lord! This is so comforting... He is indeed longsuffering. Psalm 103 is my favorite. Thanks for posting from it.

@Coliseum Amen.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Abraham Lincoln, (attributed)

I would add to that...We can NEVER fool the Lord.

I pray very honest and straightforward. For I know God knows my every thought and desire. There is no point in trying to hide them or pretend with Him. He knows me better than I know myself. And still He loves me. It is so amazing! 

And whenever I grieve His Holy Spirit by choosing to sin, I am quick to tell Him, "I feel terrible that I hurt You. Forgive me."

Then the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses me from all sin. 

I stand on faith on 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

That said, I do not go out of my way to sin. But I refer to when I stumble.

Back to what you posted, Coliseum- 

Sometimes I pray that very prayer. "Lord, I believe. Help Thou my unbelief." (Mark 9:24)
