At once they are aware of a conflict.


“People who have no sense of conflict at all in their lives are patently just not Christians; they are in the sleep of death spiritually. The moment men an women become alive spiritually, they are aware of these forces and powers, and at once they are aware of a conflict.” D.M. Lloyd-Jones

"The sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:17,18, 22, 23
