7. This Bible Study is NOT to list Dos and DON’Ts
This session is NOT to point accusing fingers at anyone
This session is NOT to ridicule anyone
We are here to stand together and fight the bane of our lives

8. How sin comes about
The very foundation of sin in man was birthed from rebellion
against God- Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Temptation- James 1:13-15
Satan also brings temptation. He does so in 3 dimensions for he
is the god of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4; Luke 4:6
Jesus himself was tempted in 3 dimensions. 1 John 2:16; Luke 4:13
The devil never gives up – he switches and he runs to and fro –
Job, 1peter 5:8 till he find what will bring you down…so we must
stay up and be on guard too!

9. Why does temptation seem so attractive and
powerful?
When is sin sweetest? II Timothy 2:22
Do we always have a choice to sin or not to sin?
When does temptation turn into sin?
Why can’t God just take us away from places
where we will fall into sin?

10. The nature of sin
It is seemingly sweet, it seems to offer better
offers, solutions and pleasure, it is easy and
desirous to the flesh (not the spirit). It starts as
a temptation, luring, it drags and then knocks
down, then accuses then asks for a refresher,
then enslaves then kills

11. Our problem is not that we don’t know our
sins. Our greatest challenge is working out how
to overcome them!

12. What the enemy plans
Make us feel God has rejected us…’
Magnifying SIN over GRACE by making sin the ONLY way out
BUT 1 Corinthians 10:13
Deaden our Spiritual conscience - make those sins part of us
such that we feel they are normal after all ‘I am human!
YOU ARE NOT STUCK – Romans 8: 12 - 17

13. This is the bottom-line:
FLESH VS. SPIRIT BATTLE
OLD MAN VS. NEW MAN
Romans 7: 18-19; 24-25
In the end, one must win

14. Reasons for Temptation
It is a test of our loyalty e.g Job – How much do you love
God? How much are you willing to sacrifice for Him?
1corinthains 10:13; 1 John 2:15
Your promotion is in temptations! How do you view them?
Liabilities or Stepping stones, Jesus too was tempted. It is
very risky and the rewards too are quite high.
Strengthen our weakness as a show of His grace and power.
2 Corinthians 12: 7-10. He is able ONLY if we want HIM to
and are ready to take the steps

15. KNOW THESE
We must believe that God is good. The Devil is sly causing us to
doubt His goodness - Genesis 3: 4-5; John 8: 44
We are fully responsible for our choices and behaviours
Romans 14:12
Deliverance is possible
You can let go of the old and embrace the new. Accept his
grace. Amazing grace!

16. HOW DO WE OVERCOME SIN?

17. OVERCOMING SIN
Acknowledge that by strength shall no man prevail Zechariah
4:6 Take it one step at a time
Know the WORD and SPEAK it – How did Jesus beat Satan?
Pray and find your weakness, build your
The Devil can’t stand Christians who understand their position
in Christ, he can’t stand talking Christians.
