fight against the sinful nature

Galatians 5:17 CSB
For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don't do what you want.

The battle starts in your mind.
Romans 12:2 CSB
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

It's a daily fight.
Luke 9:23 CSB
Then he said to them all, "If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.

But we will lose some battles and when we do we go to Jesus for forgiveness.
1 John 1:9 CSB
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

A life of obedience and self control starts with a daily surrendering of ourselves to the authority of Christ.
