To serve God, we have to make it happen

Children of God are not Totally Depraved any more. The Apostle Paul describes the two natures. One is completely Godly, the inward man. The other is completely depraved, the flesh or outward man. This new creation, that is inside us, wants to do nothing but serve God and go to God, but it is subject to the flesh around it. We must stop and with purpose to act with the inner man, because what comes naturally is to act in the flesh.
