Be Careful With Temptation | Institute of Love

You need to be careful not to fall into the same temptation when you are trying to help another believer who fell into some (sexual) sin back onto the right path. It has to be done through a gentle and humble attitude of sharing each other's burden, and not through a prideful and arrogant attitude of thinking that you are flawless and too important to help someone, because you would only be fooling yourself. You are not that important! (See Galatians 6:1-3) Therefore, “if you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience!” 1. Corinthians 10:12-13 NLT  Instead, you ought to watch and pray that you yourself will not give into temptation. Remember, the spirit is willing, but the body is weak! (See Matthew 26:41) That is why Jesus taught us to pray to the Father the following; don’t let us yield to temptation!!! (See Matthew 6:13)
