How do I resist temptation?
Published Reviewed
Recognize that temptation itself isn't sin—even Jesus was tempted. Use Scripture to fight, as Jesus did (Matthew 4). Flee from temptation (2 Timothy 2:22). Rely on the Holy Spirit's power. Stay accountable to other believers. God promises a way of escape with every temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Why this answer? It starts with 1 Corinthians 10:13, then cross-checks James 4:7 and Matthew 26:41 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
