When a saved man desires sin, it pretty much means you are walking in the flesh and not obeying the Lord. I means your desires are misplaced because your soul is desiring things that the Lord hates. When you get back to walking in the Spirit you know you are pleasing the Father because you are obeying Him and you want to stay holy and not get back in the mess of the world. You know what I mean? When you are walking in the Spirit you DO NOT DESIRE SIN. Jesus is the author of salvation to those who obey Him. We have the ability to choose righteousness and obey the father.Okay, so when a saved man desires sin (i.e., is tempted), how do we explain that?
Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him..
Phillipians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
And unsaved man does not have the ability to please the Father and obey Him. The sin nature holds him captive to the spirit of iniquity and the Law of sin and death.
