Things to consider in resisting sin

Grace of God – understanding the Grace if God is critical. There is nothing you can do to make God love you more more less. God´s grace is a free gift. Love God for His goodness. Loving God and His presence will make it easier to not sin.

Truth – Truth is critical. The more truthful you are with others and yourself, the harder it would be so sin. Truth is what makes you free – all sins are shrouded by lies which blind us. Be a truth lover. Be truthful with yourself and others.

Inner Strength – Build up your inner-man to be stronger. Be more in control of your flesh and your thought life. You build up your inner-man by Bible study, prayer, fellowship (accountability) and worship.

Vision – Vision yourself to be sin free and more self disciplined. See the result and that will increase your desire.

Will – What do you want? To be sin free and closer to God, or not? Like I said, none of us are there yet, but we are to strive for it.

Submit – The more your are submitted to God, and the authorities He has placed over you (everyone from police to pastors), your life will be less and less encumbered by sin.
