Act Your Identity Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: "Act your identity" ------------- Date: 10/12/1998 Keywords: "sonship" "spirit" "slave" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.   Passage: Romans 8:15 * 15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."   Questions 1. What kind of Spirit has God given believers?   2. What does "sonship" mean to you?   3. How can this truth help you overcome temptation?   Practical help Believers will often try to stop some negative behavior - like lust or viewing Web porn - through sheer will alone. But another source of strength exists: Don't give in to temptation because it no longer squares with your character. The next time temptation strikes, before you roll up your sleeves to strike, remember your God-given spirit. You are not a slave, but a son.   eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1998 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
