How long can one endure

Endurance - run the race set before you.

Even Paul talked about a thorn in his side that despite all his successes he was unable to remove.
Was this thorn a perpetual sin? It is tough dealing with one's own sin.
How does one change a habitual action?
Easy answer - God's Grace and the blood of Christ is sufficient for me.
Hard answer - Mental and physical conditioning yourself to follow God instead of one's sinful nature.
Salvation is an immediate and progressive act.
Change is instant and occurs over time.
The will of Christ in us can overcome all things.
Convincing oneself and changing course in our turmultous lives is hard.
Perserverance.
Big Words, Tough action.
Live out the Purpose of This life which we are giving.
