There is a great difference between sin dwelling and reigning in us. It dwells in every believer, but reigns in the unbeliever.
- D. L. Moody
Sin is to be overcome, not so much by maintaining a direct opposition to it, as by cultivating opposite principles. Would you kill the weeds in your garden, plant it with good seed: if the ground be well occupied there will be less need of the labor of the hoe. If a man wished to quench fire he might fight it with his hands till he was burnt to death; the only way is to apply an opposite element.
- Andrew Fuller
