Don't take every negative statement as if I'm directing it to you! When I post, I try to cover every angle of the topic, whether it was included in the conversation prior to my post or not!!!!

I just realize my status, apart from Christ's work, is still guilty.
I allow sanctification to push me toward true discipleship, and that includes all the wonderful things you just types. However, I realize, that any "overcoming" is a work of the Spirit active in my life, and not about my "strong will," "want to" or anything else human. It's all back to faith. I believe Jesus, and that helps me overcome.

Absolutely. Strong human will, in most cases, will still leave room for failure. That's why it's imperative to walk in the spirit. When the spirit is strong, the flesh is weak, and vice versa. Re: Faith - When you truly believe, for instance, that I Corinthians 10:13 is TRUE, and that there is a Providential "way of escape", you may look around for the escape route in the midst of temptation, and walk out of it unscathed. Faith in God's Word can help us in many situations--believing that His promises are actually TRUE--that's powerful.
