       If we turn over to the New Testament, to Romans chapter 6, we can see a little section from the Apostle Paul which sort of commentates on what David was saying here. In Romans chapter 6, let’s start in verse 12. We read: “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace” (Romans 6:12-14, ESV). So, we see that we, as believers, can still let sin reign in our flesh if we are not keeping our thoughts and actions aligned with God’s Truth. Once we keep on sinning, we give ourselves over to the power of sin, and Satan can even gain a stronghold in our lives.
