FLEE TEMPTATIONS, DON"T RESIST THEM!

The Bible tells us to flee 3 things:
1. Flee Sexual Immorality (1 Cor 6:18)
2. Flee from Idolatry (1 Cor 10:14)
3. Flee from the Love of Money* (1 Tim 6:9-11) *the temptation to want to get rich

We are to flee from the temptation that comes from these things.

Temptation never comes from God.

Temptation comes from either:
1. The Devil (Mt 4:3, 1Thess 3:5, 1 Cor7:5) or
2. Our Fleshly Desires (James 1:13,14)

We do not sin when we are tempted, but if we yield to temptation, we sin (James 1:15).

When faced with temptations, what are we to do other then fleeing?
1. “Submit to God…Come near to God and He will come near to you” (James 4:7,8)
2. “Resist the Devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7)
3. “Stand firm in your faith…And the God of all grace will… make you strong (1 Peter 5:9,10)
