Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
Our faith was a gift from God. The will of God is for us to be sanctified. As we grow more and more humble, our pride will be put to death. During this process we will become more like Christ.
Only with Christ can we overcome the world and deny our flesh. Anybody can make a decision to stop doing something, but that is only temporary and a result of will power and it is outside the grace of God.
