Overcoming the Temptation To Commit Sin

be not a receptacle to that spirit of sin live by the word of God and be open to Him in this day where the lines of morality have become blurred where people believe and do all and anything that's absurd caught up in the grasp of drugs and chemical dependency caught up in the muck and mire of sexual immorality yet society tries to explain away any and all aberrant behavior and a psychiatric evaluation has become acceptable and favored we're now subjected to the blame of others and their bad actions subjected to the world's desensitized and apathetic reaction overcoming the temptation to commit sin to yield not to that demonic presence again and again if you don't understand and comprehend the word of God how do you know if you have any sin in your heart? you need to read the word of God and follow His commands the instructions on how to live sinless, God's master plans to wrestle with the evil that may at times reside within to overcome that sensation to go out and commit sin you need to be exposed to God's laws and learn right from wrong you need to do a self reflection and then come away strong for it's one thing to do what is sinful if you don't have a clue but it's a different story when you knowingly sin for the blame is now on you to be disobedient and stray from God's life living instructions will lead you down that crooked path of spiritual destruction so think before you act and then lay it before God pray on that temptation to sin and possess a contrite heart to challenge that temptation to commit sin just dwell on the word of God and not the unholiness of men yet we continue to try and justify some of the things we do and say we need to be truthful in our hearts and willing to change our ways no longer to be arrogant and sanctimonious in this life to be more humble and repentant as a child of the Lord Christ we pretend to act like it's not us but everyone else we need to take a hard look in the mirrors at ourselves first to come to understand that this battle is not ours alone to realize we need the strength and the power of the heavenly throne to be rescued from that temptation of sin that's always hanging around to be lifted up by the word of God and placed on higher ground to turn to our savior, the Lord Jesus the Christ to thank Him and praise Him for the gift of eternal life
