       All this being said, as a final point in this area, we should not and cannot have a wrong view of ourselves in Christ if we want to be successful over sin in our lives. And this is a common problem for folks. It’s a common issue for the Christian deists I’ve been talking about throughout this series. After we have been born again, once we have come to the realization of our own, personal sinfulness, if we continue to see ourselves as pathetic sinners in Christ, then guess what? We are going to continue to struggle with sin. Sinful habits aren’t going to go away for us. And why is this? Because how we see ourselves in Christ is very significant and consequential. And notice I said “in Christ.” In other words, what we believe about ourselves is what we become. I talked about this in Romans chapter 6, remember? Our beliefs have power, whether they are good beliefs or bad beliefs, whether they are true or false.
