Sin pollutes your soul, so it can't see the world clearly. The more sin you have in your life, the more it seems normal and okay. You don't even see how much it is killing you from the inside out. It makes your soul sick.
Christians battle their worldly nature to sin. The battles will lead to a person to one of two endings of the war. One the person becomes friends of the world and a tool for Satan. The other option is they will be victorious with God and become strong to help others win the war.
Sin is serious. Jesus seeks to redeem. He was so serious about trying to save you that he died for your. He doesn't regret His sacrifice. Accept it and believe, so you can live a life without regret or giving up. You will have spiritual battles in life. There is no way to avoid that, but with the Holy Spirit you will have a chance. He will show you ways out, how to flee, how to fight when you have to, but ultimately the fight is Jesus. Don't try to take over his job. You will not do it nearly as well.
Resist Satan and he will flee you. He is not going to stay too long where Jesus is. It all starts with salvation, but then comes the Baptism. It is a battle cry for what side you stand on. Next, you have to learn discipline, how to obey, and forgiveness. Once you learn you are able to resist Satan.
You will not win every battle, but do not let it crush you. Instead learn from it and turn to God more in that area. When you are victorious don't become proud. It is God's victory more than it is yours. Do not allow the victories to cause you to fall. Instead become a disciple to help others find salvation and victory in Jesus. That is where you find true freedom.
