September 25

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1

Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. John 10:9

Colossians 3:1 - 1 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13 — So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

In a culture filled with moral depravity and sin-inducing pressures, here is encouragement about temptation:
1) Wrong desires and temptations happen to everyone, so don't feel you've been singled out
2) Others have resisted temptation — so can you
3) Any temptation can be resisted because God will help you resist it. God helps you resist temptation by helping you:
a) recognize those people and situations that give you trouble
b) run from anything you know is wrong
c) choose to do only what is right
d) pray for God's help
e) seek friends who love God and can offer help when you are tempted

Running from a tempting situation is your first step on the way to victory.
