How do I continue to cling to sin in my life?
Sometines I feel that I am in a state of stasis: not shedding my sin, but maybe not collecting "new ones" either. Some just seem to bubble to the surface, like anger or language. Some are always there, like sloth or lust. Some (by the grace of God) I seem to get a handle on, like covetousness or greed.
How is this? How is it determined?
Is it something that I do? Could I forsake more of my sin if I walked closer to God, confessed my sin, and tried harder?
Is it something that God is doing, working through them in a pattern random to me but sensible to Him?
Am I what is holding back becoming more like the Lord Jesus through my lack of dedication and sinfulness? If so, how can I more completely deal with my sin?
