No one in their right mind likes conflict. Yet, there are times when conflict cannot be avoided. There is a certain kind of conflict to which the Gospel brings believers. Yes, the Gospel brings reconciliation with God to us and with this wonderful grace we know forgiveness of sins and justification before God. The Gospel brings the Holy Spirit into our lives who gives us new birth into life with God who has adopted us as His dearly loved children. The Gospel liberates us from the dominion of sin and from the Law as what we must keep to secure favor with God. However, the Gospel puts us on a path of daily conflict with indwelling sin.
