Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:14-16 NKJV
Let us hold fast to what we believe. Let’s wrap it around our hearts. Our high priest is Jesus. And Jesus was tempted as we are in every possible scenario. And yet he still was without sin.
If we come to God humbly and boldly we will find mercy and grace. There isn’t one of us that doesn’t need the grace of Jesus. We all do. If Jesus experienced every single temptation and resisted each one without sinning and that same Jesus lives inside of us, then why do we find excuses to keep living in sin, or giving into temptation? Make a decision to follow Jesus all the way. Repentance is a complete 180 turn. When you repent you go from the direction you were going to the direction God wants you to go. Everytime you start heading the wrong way, repent and turn. We may not be perfect like Jesus but we have his Holy Spirit living inside of us. His discerning spirit. Stop grieving the holy spirit inside of you and start listening to him.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
