If given a place of pre-eminence, the life of Christ in believers is powerful enough to make us act right, even in tempting and challenging  situations.

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

—Galatians 2:20 NKJV
