Temptation We as teens are tempted by many different things. In our everyday life we see and hear things that makes us stumble and sometimes even sin. Temptation is the devils tool to deceive us and make us fail short of the things that we should do as Christians for God. What kind of temptations do you deal with everyday? There are many different temptations that are out their in the world that teenagers can fail into. Examples of some temptations are sexual, drugs, violence, movies that we know we should not watch music that we know is not glorifying to God and certain video games and there are many others. What should you do if you find yourself giving into temptation? Well, I would suggest that you first pray, and ask God to forgive you and help you with the issue of your temptation. If you find yourself committing a sin time after time because of something that tempts you and you keep asking forgiveness you should be careful because you may start to think, "Hey, what's the big deal anyway? This makes me happy, and if I do this yeah God don't like it, and says its wrong, but I can ask forgiveness after I do" well, if you think like that and still commit the sin, then you are treading on dangerous ground. Yes, while God does forgive you for your sins, you must ask with a true heart that is truly broken because you know that you have disobeyed God and you are truly sorry. To be able to do true repentance you must have a heart that is broken and be truly sorry for what you have done. But what if you are truly sorry and you still can't stop committing the sin? Ask yourself this questions: Have I tried to remove this temptation area from my life completely? If you answer yes to this question then you may want to try this approach, instead of removing it from your life, find something Godly to put in its place. Something that is Godly that you will enjoy just as much if not more and after awhile it will become your good "temptation" and take the place of the bad sinful temptation. |
