Bible Question:
I would appreciate any insight and/or other scripture references that might help me understand this scripture better. I am interested in 1 John 2:15-17. Specifically the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. Thank You, JAL |
Bible Answer: Most of it can't be done by human actions alone, we need to have the purity of the Holy Spirit to engulf us.Through prayer and total surrender to God's will. Im still nt there yet..tt's just my personal opinion... Thanks and regards Jeremy |
