The best predictor of behavior is past behavior.
Oh, oh! It seems to imply that one cannot change very easily. Our natural default in life is to our flesh nature, i.e. self. Scripture says to "reckon" ourselves dead to the flesh and "alive" unto the Spirit. It takes a conscious commitment to "reckon," doesn't it?
reck·on
–verb (used with object)
1. to count, compute, or calculate
2. to esteem or consider
3. to think or suppose
To suppose one can control our natural default for a higher law, one that supersedes the lower. In Christ, we can.
