John 15:5 This to me is the crux of victory over sin and a joyous life -- remaining in Christ, abiding in Him, which is what you are saying in your post. You know, the longer I live the more aware I am of how much I need the Lord to reign in my heart and mind.

I never really thought about the words "remission of sin" <br />This was a great reminder that being in remission is not the same as fully and permanently healed.
