Some ways to deal with sins (from Respectable Sins)
1. apply the Gospel
-remember we are already forgiven
-we are credited Christ's righteousness
2. rely on the Holy Spirit
3. recognize our responsibility; pursue steps for dealing with sins
4. identify specific areas of acceptable sins
5. have scripture to each subtle sin
6. pray over sins we tolerate
7. involve other believers
It's been so helpful to just think about these things and think about why even bother to deal with sin. Dealing with sin just always seems so frustrating, like a forced obligation, undesirable... but no Romans 6 says we are free from the bondage of sin. And the greatest thing isn't just our sanctification but what our sanctification leads to --> seeing and treasuring God even more(!) because sin separates us from God. It's already evident that sin separates people.
