Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: Galatians 5:16*
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires
of the sinful nature.
Questions
1. What is the mantra by which you live?
2. If you want to overcome sinful desires, what does this verse say
you should do?
Practical help
The Bible is full of promises, and because we know it is God's word,
we can trust that the promises are true. In this case, it's an if-then proposition. If A,
then B. If we live by the Spirit, we won't go for worldly temptations such as pornography.
If we live by the Spirit, then our desires will not have us in their control.
OK, so what does that mean? When you have more than three minutes sometime, read Romans 8.
For now, if you are a believer in Christ, know that he has given you his Spirit and that
through that Spirit there is power to overcome the ensnaring power of sin. You have a
daily choice to make -- will you live by the Spirit that he has planted in you or not? If
you have not given your life to Christ and you are wondering what to do about your porn
habit, be assured that the real power to overcome it is not in struggling with it but in
giving yourself over to something more powerful, and good to boot. Learn more by clicking here.
