Flee Immorality

Dear Christian Bother or Sister,

The Lord Jesus told us to pray "Lead us not into temptation."

It's better to run than fight when it comes to temptation.

My advice to you all is:  Pray first then just say no.

If you sin don't let it stay between you and the Lord.

Quickly confess and then Stop sinning. You are not alone, we all are tempted in many ways. We have different weaknesses. But think on the following words.

Noble, true, holy, trustworthy, honorable.

Be a person who is noble and honorable.

Don't be proud of sin.

Be ashamed.

 

"...The body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body." 1 Corinthians 6:13

 

"Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body." 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

 

"Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 (NIV)

 

 

"No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

 

 "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." Hebrews 13:4

 

 "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16

 

 "For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted." Hebrews 2:18

 

 "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!" 1 Corinthians 6:15

 

 "Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him." James 1:12

 

 "Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment." 2 Peter 2:9
