Mat 5:48 GNB You must be perfect---just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
This is a BIG statement. God wants us to be perfect. This mean that we can come to a place where we can defeat sin in our lives. We have the power to defeat Satan and the temptation that Satan brings to us, Jesus gives us the greatest key. So how did Jesus overcome Satan?
Mat 4:1-11 MKJV Then Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the wilderness, to be tempted by the Devil. (2) And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterwards hungry. (3) And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (4) But He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." (5) Then the Devil took Him up into the holy city and set Him upon a pinnacle of the Temple. (6) And he said to Him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it is written, "He shall give His angels charge concerning You, and in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone." (7) Jesus said to him, It is written again, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." (8) Again, the Devil took Him up into a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. (9) And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. (10) Then Jesus said to him, Go, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve." (11) Then the Devil left him. And behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
So how did Jesus resist temptation? He stood on the word.
Rom 6:12-14 MKJV Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. (13) Do not yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God, as one alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. (14) For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.
From this verse we can see that we can get to a place where sin has zero dominion over you.
1Co 15:34 GNB Come back to your right senses and stop your sinful ways. I declare to your shame that some of you do not know God.
1Co 15:34 GW Come back to the right point of view, and stop sinning. Some people don't know anything about God. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
So stop sinning and come back to your senses. Sinning is 100% your choice. Get back to the right point of view. The only right point of view is the God's Word.
Joh 14:6 MKJV Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
1Pe 2:21-25 CEV After all, God chose you to suffer as you follow in the footsteps of Christ, who set an example by suffering for you. (22) Christ did not sin or ever tell a lie. (23) Although he was abused, he never tried to get even. And when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he had faith in God, who judges fairly. (24) Christ carried the burden of our sins. He was nailed to the cross, so that we would stop sinning and start living right. By his cuts and bruises you are healed. (25) You had wandered away like sheep. Now you have returned to the one who is your shepherd and protector.
Jesus set us free from sin by dying n the cross. If you except Jesus as your Lord, Shepherd and Protector you can have victory over sin.
