Spiritual Power
Choosing God’s commandments over sinful urges not only demonstrates your love for Him but strengthens your relationship with Him as well. When you seek God’s will for your life, He will lead and guide you around all the things that pull you away from Him, and the closer you are to Jesus, the more you will want to please Him by living a godly life. Whenever temptation raises its ugly head, God is there to give you the victory - all you need to do is ask. In other words, God will give you spiritual power to win the battle over sin! In 1 Corinthians 15:57 we’re told, “Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” When you fall in love with Jesus, you no longer have the same worldly desires, and the more you grow spiritually, those temptations that you once saw as harmless no longer have the same appeal, and your eyes are open to the danger. Bottom line: there’s no sinful pleasure on this earth that is worth missing out on eternity with Jesus! The Bible says in 1 John 2:17, “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” Text: Titus 2:12, James 1:2, John 16:33
