Don't know Christ yet?

There are 5 Scriptural principles you need to know.

Here is the fourth one...

Principle Number 4.

Jesus enables you to overcome temptation.

Your human flesh is weak, but the Spirit is willing. Your heart will deceive you and yoru mind is already crowded with the perversions of the world. Left to your own devices you will fall into temptation and continue to sin, even if you have commited your life to Jesus Christ.

13 No temptation[a] 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.

1 Corinthians 10:13

Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.

Romans 6:13
