E232: Resisting Temptation

Takeaways

Man is capable of resisting temptation, as demonstrated by examples from the Bible.

Temptation itself is not sinful; it is how we respond to it that matters.

Jesus, as our high priest, understands our struggles with temptation and provides strength and guidance.

To resist temptation, we should flee from it and set ourselves up for success. Set yourself up for success by fleeing from temptation and turning to God.

Recognize that even strong individuals can fall if not careful.

Take extreme measures to overcome sexual temptations, such as deleting social media accounts and breaking off unhealthy relationships.

Control your thoughts and actions, and seek help and accountability from fellow believers.
