In our Christian journey, our attempt to emulate Christ in all we do is essential. First Peter 2:21 tells us to follow in His sinless footsteps as closely as possible. Romans 3:23 acknowledges that all humans are guilty of sin, and Romans 6.23 adds that the wages of sin is death. In this episode, we discuss the significance of our Christian identity and how we can strive for a sin-free existence. Here, we give you ten Bible-based strategies to resist temptations and live a life aligned with God's Word.

The first strategy highlights the importance of God's Word. This serves as a roadmap that defines right from wrong. Our knowledge of the Word, therefore, equips us to combat sins of all types.

The second tip comes from 1 Corinthians 10:13 which assures Christians that God will always provide a way out of temptation. Remembering that it is not wrong to be tempted but wrong to give in is the third strategy. The fourth strategy is readiness. This requires us to plan ahead and prepare for situations that may present temptations. Our fifth strategy advises us to request guidance in prayer.

The company we keep has profound influences on us. The sixth strategy emphasizes the power of positive relationships while the seventh asks us to think about the price of our redemption – the suffering Jesus endured for our salvation. Our eighth tip requires us to acknowledge that we are the source of our sins and it is our responsibility to avoid them.

Our final two strategies ask you to focus on the consequences and rewards. Remembering the horrendous consequences of sin and the eternal bliss that awaits the righteous can motivate us to resist temptation.

Remember, resisting temptation is a continual process that requires conscious choices daily. We hope these strategies embolden you in your journey to overcome temptations and honor God through your actions. Join us in the next episode for more enlightening Bible lessons.
