Practical help

You can see from this what God’s plan was all along. The Son was sent to earth to give Himself for the sins of all mankind. Making it a bit more personal, Jesus gave His life for your sins so He could rescue you from the power of the present evil age — a world ruled by Satan and filled with cruelty, temptation, tragedy and deception. Porn is part of that.

Being delivered from all this does not mean that God immediately takes us out of this world, but rather that we are no longer enslaved to it. Everything about us has changed now that we are in Christ. Having died with Him and been raised with Him, His power is at work in us. We have been delivered from the power of sin, and we have the life of Jesus in us.

Stand strong in the Lord Jesus today! The truth is that porn no longer has any power over you now that you are in Christ. Don’t go back to the very thing He has delivered you from.
