Chris.
When the Lord Jesus comes into our life then we really have New Life. A problem for many of us is that we do not know how to live this New Life or we are remaining stuck in old habits. The New Life that we receive in Christ is stronger than old habits. We need to live out that New Life that Christ has invested in us then we can live free from old habits.
