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.
