@heartathome Thanks reminding of God's love. i know no eye has seen the goodness our Heavenly Dad has in store for those who love Him.
i know full well the battle you speak about, satan constantly uses our life where it is still sinful or wrong yet i have learned to understand it is NOT us but Jesus who secured our salvation. Rather the (carnal) feelings and thoughts which keep us from God's love because of who we are stand in the way big time to our rebirth in the parts of our life He has not been placed on The Throne of our hearts yet. This is where FAITH comes in very handy, for it is our faith in Jesus that acquires us His righteousness.

i reckon the Prophecy of Isaiah chapter 27:12-13 says it perfect, one by one Jesus takes us up to Him out of our life of slavery, bondage and exile, as well where we already know His truth but not reborn spiritually. For not WE sinners determine our salvation but FAITH in Jesus does. For as Paul points out the dividing wall of hostility has been taken away, so we can give God's love to ourselves whenever we have faith in Jesus.
For our salvation is not based on anything else but God's loving truth transforming us from our Old hurting life into His New Heavenly Bliss. It is about placing the parts of ourselves we are not in His truth yet into His truth, and keep doing that till Jesus is fully formed in us and we truly are Him together as those walk in His Spirit as His Body down here.
The Living Word Saves
Meeting Jesus down in my deepest Pit
brought an end to all my inner pain
For lovingly The Word made me fit
to have my Good Life back again.
First The Farmer pulled up my weeds
digging up the dirt and rocks within me
then lovingly sowing His Good Seeds
in time harvesting me most abundantly!
Yes The Word's Voice in Spirit of Love
The Living Word brought me under His care
His love dwelling within me from up above
His everlasting Good Life with me to share.
So please do from your pit walk away
also farming His Good Life in your soul
finding New Life in God's Truth today
The LIVING WORD your constant goal.
Song of Battle.
The arrows streak their flame.
a bad attack of guilt and shame.
Opening the treasures of my defence,
His loving Word my only chance,
Of surviving the fiery weather.
"Do, don't, eat, abstain, go or stay."
Is what those graceless attackers say.
Scornfully throwing their hate around.
My many sins sizzling at their sound.
Surrounding me with their sin's misery.
Now one grabs me cruelly by the throat,
my sins has him mock a scornful gloat.
"How can you still trust in God's grace,
When I rub all this dirt in your face?"
He demands in a nasty accuser's tone.
In humble voice I lowly bow my head.
Lord You heard what they just said,
yet who can charge those You elect?
Faith in Your sacrifice makes perfect.
So let Your grace and love do battle.
Instantly His sword streaks its flame.
His word attack my enemies once again.
His graceful loving truth fells all.
In the fire of His mercy they fall,
Such a wonderful happy ending for me.
For Jesus is victorious over my sin.
Eternal life our Lord for me did win.
Praises to Him from my heart swells.
For His Spirit of grace in me dwells.
All glory belongs to The Lamb of God!
