I believe the gospel and call to follow is radical.
We do not realize how radical.
It REQUIRES death of the flesh, and, ambition, desires, impulses, etc.
But thank God it is helped by the infilling....and my movement into that promised land.
I can be free.
Victory is my portion.
Romans 8 is my dwelling place.
Paul said " i press FORWARD towards the mark"
That is determination.
An overcomer as i understand it in broad terms is " one who overcomes sin"

Perfect sanctification has a name
Its called Glorification.
It is what we will be when we are resurrected
Until then, we are perfected positionally. But in the process of being sanctified
For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are BEING SANCTIFIED
We will not be perfectly sanctified (sinless) while in this body. Only Christ achieved that

Pursuing God from wherever you are is perfection in Christ
“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.”
Philippians 3:12-16 KJV

amen Paul also said he wasn’t claiming to be perfect or have achieved it but was pressing toward the high calling of God in Christ I think we confuse sin which is the law with righteousness which comes through the gospel and belief
“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;”
Romans 3:20-21 KJV
In that same section you referenced he says again
“.And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law,
but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:”
Philippians 3:9
as long as we think righteousness is according to what Moses wrote in the ot we’re always going to look at God like we’re sinners . Because it’s giving the knowledge of sin to sinners to hold them guilty
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”
Romans 3:19 KJV
as long as we take that law as our law we can never be free of sins dominion it will remain ever present with us because it is for sinners to restrain tbier sin within them and not act in it.
when we come to God by what Jesus said in the gospel and look at righteousness his way , it isn’t about restraining the sin in you , it’s about eliminating the spiritual causes of sin rather than restraining them and not acting in sin , Jesus doctrine leads us out of the snare
By addressing the root issues in our heart
lust , don’t allow it to dwell
In your mind and heart , greed don’t allow it to rule you , hate and grudge bearing don’t allow it to fester and cause sin towards those we dislike or have something against ….he’s addressing what causes us to sin offering us a way to break the chains and be aware of what’s really happening
the devils plot in the world is inside kf
Mans mind and heart so we share the gospel in this hope
“In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:25-26 KJV
it’s the word that is able

If you are captivated by an addictive behaviour, God can set you free. If you indulge in that behaviour after having been set free, you will be entangles again in a yoke of bondage.
For example, if God sets you free from smoking, smoking a cigarette afterwards may be the start again of the same pattern that had you addicted in the first place. It is important, therefore, that one avoid the things that once held him in captivity.

The Hoy Ghost is described as living water that satisfies the soul.
When we are satisfied by the living water, we will not be drawn or tempted by the toilet waters that the world offers us to drink.
As long as we are being sustained by the toilet waters of this world, we will thirst again.
But when we partake of the living water (the Holy Ghost) we will never again thirst for the toilet water that this world has to offer.
John 4:13-14, John 6:35, John 7:37-39.
