How To Say No

Can I resist temptation?

God’s Response

Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods. Daniel 1:8

If sinners entice you, turn your back on them! Proverbs 1:10

The time to prepare for battle is before it begins. The time to prepare for temptation is before it overwhelms you. Your greatest defense against temptation is to arm yourself by praying and studying God’s Word. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you can resist temptation without knowing the special tactics God provides in the Bible.

This Is Promising

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 1 Corinthians 10:13
