Argh!

Feeling tempted to do stuff that goes against God? Well, we're in a war here and God's not left us without weaponry...

"Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

Ephesians 6:17

Bearing that in mind, here are a few verses that I use when I'm feeling attacked by temptation:

"But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it."

1 Corinthians 10:13

"Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness"

2Timothy 2:22

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Ephesians 4:32
