Many preachers teach that there is a struggle with sin that is dealt with by resiting the temptation and asking God to give us strength to over come. There is nothing wrong with this teaching. But many who are in bondage find that they continue to battle with and loose the same battle over and over and are in a state of defeat. That is wherer programs like AA come in to help the acloholic. We know that we have the real victory we seek when we are able to get rid of the sin nature itself. It has been done for us at Calvary.
