2 Corinthians 8:21
Life is the sum of the decisions we make.
Our bad decisions begin when we respond to temptation’s whisper by saying, “Just this once.”
Matthew 26:41
3 pre-decisions to fight against temptation:
- Move the line
- Magnify the cost
- Plan your escape
Why would I resist temptation in the future if I have the power to eliminate it today?
Questions to consider:
Move the line:
- Where is temptation continually leading you to sin?
- Is there any place in your life where pride in your willpower is keeping you from escaping temptation?
- How will you move the line?
Magnify the cost
- Using your own temptation, list out the worst case results that could cost you dearly.
Plan your escape
- Identify and write down your escape route when your personal temptation comes.
Hebrews 12:1-3
