It is sometimes very difficult to overcome temptation - but
not impossible
In the end, giving into temptation is a choice that we make.
We have no one to blame but ourselves if we give into
temptation.
Though, all our senses push us to give into temptation, we
still have the choice to give in or not.
Man by nature is tempted to do the wrong thing.
He is ever struggling to choose God and righteousness.
The only way to overcome this struggle and naturally do what
is correct is to surrender to God.
When man aggressively surrenders to God on a daily basis,
God’s spirit begins to have union with man’s spirit and gives man the strength
to choose what is right.
This union is possible because of what Christ accomplished on the cross.
Christ’s redemptive work on the cross makes man eligible to
have a spiritual union with God though man’s soul is stained with sin.
When man calls out to God, God sees man as sanctified by the
blood of Christ and is willing to have a spiritual union with man.
This spiritual union gives man the power to naturally choose
what is right and overcome temptation.
Let us all surrender to God and receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit that gives us the power over sin and death. Amen!!
