Even if you think you can stand up to temptation, be careful not to fall. You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and he will show you how to escape from your temptations.
1 Corinthians 10: 12 - 13
Temptation is the doorway to the prison of sin! Once you enter those gates, the addiction of wrongdoing controls your life and keeps you locked up until someone sets you free! That someone is Jesus!
It is a glorious thing when Christ releases you from the chains that bind you to the suffering and misery handed to you by Satan! But it is also wonderful when God shows you the way to escape the temptation itself and you never fall prey to that sin!
The Bible says that everyone will sin, and if you are reading this, then you have already sinned in some way. Make it your goal to escape temptation today and every day for the rest of your life! You do need the Blood of Jesus to deal with the sin you have already committed, but you don’t need to sin any more!
At some point in your life you will sin for the very last time! Pray that your last sin has already happened and set your heart to escape all the temptations that come for the rest of your life!
“Lord Jesus, help me to say no to the temptations that will come to my life today! And may Your Name be praised now and forever. Amen.”
