Bible Question: I went and read the things that you put in your answer. Being a new Christian-----I am really looking for support. Being a new Christian I had to give up some things to begin my walk with Christ Jesus. I thought that I could just walk away from the temptation of homosexual activities. When I was with my church family the temptations where not there. What am I doing wrong? Will God turn away from me if I can not fight off the temptation? |
Bible Answer: You are not doing anything wrong. Please know that you will be tempted, there is no escaping this fact. Know that "there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the emptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." I Corinthians 10:13 God will not forsake you or turn His back on you, He loves you. The devil wants to keep you bound and confused, but remember that Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b Walking away from homosexuality is very hard, trust me I know from experience, but if you remain persistent and steadfast you will do it and become More than a conqueror. The temptation to fall into this particular kind of sin may always be there, but temptation in and of itself is not bad, it is when we give in to temptation that we sin. When temptations come, pray, read the Word and rebuke the thoughts and the devil. I had a scripture that I quoted constantly throughout the day to keep me strong, find one that ministers to you and meditate on it day and night and watch the temptations go away. I will be praying for you |
