How to Withstand Temptation

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity EVERY thought to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5

Why should we learn to Withstand the Enemy?

“Oh that a right impression might be made upon the minds of young and old in regard to the exceeding sinfulness of sin! Oh, that all might have a realization of its offensiveness to God, and its injury to mankind! The word of truth declares, ‘Be sure your sin will find you out.’ The real character of EVERY act of your life will be made know. There is an inevitable day of exposure reserved for every soul who does not repent of his sins and forsake all evil through the strength of Christ, who has died that we might live.”_ R&H, March 27, 1888

Why are so many overcome?

“Satan knows that he cannot overcome man unless he can control his will. He can do this by deceiving man, so that he will co-operate with him in transgressing the laws of nature in eating and drinking, which is transgression of the law of God.” Temperance p. 16
