Col2

Delighting in God is the only cure for self-indulgence! Self denial can be another form of pride, which leads to even greater godlessness.

We are free from sin because of Jesus. That freedom is not permission to do whatever we want! Nor is it the condemnation of everything we desire! It is the blessing of knowing Jesus and living in relationship with Him. 

Jesus is the only way to God. Obedience to Jesus is the only way to enjoy our relationship with God. Self denial and self indulgence are both expression of pride! Obedience is about true humility.

Say "no" to self when you are confident you are saying "yes" to Jesus. God has given much of life to be enjoyed. Enjoy freedom from sin and freedom to enjoy all that God has given.
