Heb 10:22  We are free to approach him with absolute confidence, fully persuaded in our hearts that nothing can any longer separate us from him. We are invited to draw near now! We are thoroughly cleansed, inside and out, with no trace of sin’s stains on our conscience or conduct. The sprinkled blood purges our inner thought-patterns; our bodies also are bathed in clean water.  (Our behavior bears witness to this.)

Remind yourself of this daily. Sin no longer has any rights to rule our lives. We are able to walk above the lower nature by the power of the Spirit of life not by some personal effort.  Our “effort” in this life is to believe and lay hold of our redeemed state.   Putting our faith and trust in Jesus’ finished work.  Our work is a work of faith, not human strength or willpower both of those will always let us down.  But Jesus paid for it all and will never let us down.
