Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

Passage: Galatians 5:16*

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

Questions

1. What two ways of living is Paul contrasting in this verse?

2. Which way would you say represents giving in to the temptation to view pornography?

3. According to this verse, how can a person ensure that he/she will not carry out the desire of the flesh?

Practical help

Two people who intend to walk together have to agree on destination, or they will soon be parted. In Galatians 5:16, Paul pictures the believer walking with the Spirit of God, and we know that the HOLY Spirit walks very intentionally toward a very predictable destination: Holiness!

It is impossible to take a walk with the Holy Spirit and view the un-holy images of porn. Take a hike - with the Holy Spirit. As you SUBMIT to His destination (holiness) and TRUST His direction (obedience), you will soon begin to enjoy freedom from porn and the joy of His hand in yours as you walk.
