When we first come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we begin by confessing our sins and accepting the forgiveness He gives to us through His sacrifice on the Cross. That is the process of being “saved” or “born again.”

When you give your life to Christ, you are immediately saved from the penalty of sin. Since you are now born again, you begin to avoid the things you do before which ain't right before God, you also stay clear from bad groups, gatherings or friends, because associating with them may draw you back to your old ways. That is the first stage to overcome sin. Keeping on the faith, steadfastness are other factors that determines how long we can handle our faithfulness. In this wicked world where Satan rules, it is difficult living a full life without fallen prey of satanic temptations. But in all I concur, sin can be overcome! But before you are able to do so, you must prepare to face many spiritual battles.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:12–13).
