It is an inner desire that changes. As you mature in your Christian walk the desire grows to do good things and the desire to do bad things diminishes. It is the work of the Holy Spirit in us.

Amen. A perfect description of sanctification.

“As you mature in your Christian walk the desire grows to do good things and the desire to do bad things diminishes. It is the work of the Holy Spirit in us.”

I would add that as we mature in Christ, we grow to see our own sin more and hate it all the more, being broken over what we have held dear that is repugnant in the eyes of the Lord who bought us with His life.

Let all God’s children praise Him for His wonderful mercy and finished work at Calvary!
