Spiritual ignorance (not knowing what to do) or willful disobedience (knowing what to do but not doing it) are behind every sin that a believer commits. Both of these hindrances to Christ-like development can be overcome as a believer commits to rely on God’s Truth and His power instead of relying on “self.” This redirection from “self” to the Savior is basic to biblical discipleship and God-honoring ministry.
