Keywords: "gratify" "holy" "sinful"


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. The same writer, Paul, refers to this Spirit again in Ephesians 1:13. What does he call the Spirit in that verse?

 

2. What does it mean to be holy?

 

3. What are you gratifying when you look at pornographic web sites (Holy Spirit or sinful nature)?

 

Practical help

Gratification seems natural, but this scripture points out that it is focused on the wrong thing: sin. You do not have to be focused on a sinful nature. There is a Holy Spirit that you can live by, and it is a gift from God. Others have turned their lives over to God's Holy Spirit and kicked the habit of web porn. They are rooting for you to do the same.
