8 Rom 6:11-12 Count yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, do not let sin reign in your body…

9 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone and the new has come.

10 Jn 8:11 I do not condemn you. Now go and leave your life of sin.

13 Prov 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

14 Always pursues happiness

15 Augustine: “How sweet it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys I had once feared to lose. You drove them from me and took their place, You, the true, Sovereign Joy.”

16 Chalmers: It is seldom any of our sins can be made to disappear by mental determination. But, what cannot be destroyed may be displaced.

17 The heart is so constituted that only way to dispose of an old affection is by the expulsive power of a new affection. It is only by receiving over and over the glory of the gospel

18 that the heart, brought under the mastery of this one great and predominant affection, can be delivered from the tyranny of former desires.

19 Thus, the more received is the doctrine of grace, the more it shall lead to godliness. So then, try every legitimate method of opening your hearts to His extravagant grace”.
