Very good article. The “old man” our sinful nature will be with us as long as we live. Her same sex attraction is part of that. Praise God a believer has the Holy Spirit to help in this life. Many believers are doing the same thing she did. Many addicts still crave drugs and think about them. Surrender your life to God and He will help you lead a life pleasing to Him.

When God saves us, He truly gives us a “New Birth.”

Whereas before, like in Romans 7 our sins control us, after He saves us, we have no more condemnation (Romans 8:1 - There is therefore no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus) and gives us power over our sin (II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.)

Furthermore, it is not the action of sin that Jesus came to do away with, but the desire, the motivation of sin that LEADS to the sin. Otherwise, Jesus would not have said the following: Mathew 5:28 - But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
