Summary
The Holy Spirit liberates believers from slavery to fleshly desires like food and money, and from the sinful nature that wages war against the mind. Drawing on Romans 7-8, Zac Poonen teaches that while Christians experience an ongoing conflict between the mind's desire to obey God and the flesh's pull toward sin, freedom comes through Christ without condemnation—believers can live as overcomers by relying on the Holy Spirit's power to set them free from the law of sin and death.
