     | 3,871 views

    Understand the nature of the temptations Satan throws before you, fight them with God’s word and seek forgiveness from Jesus when you fail, knowing that he understands what it’s like to be tempted.

I mean Satan hardly has to lift a finger and we give in. But then we’re a lot weaker than Jesus. But ...read more
