“Facing Sin, Temptation and Difficulty; How to overcome”



Facing Sin and Temptation:

How to overcome

By Jung Hyup “John” Kim and Sun Kyung “Sunny” Jun

We live in a lost and sinful world. There are many sins and temptations in the world.

• How can we know the world is sinful and tempting?

Do not love the world

1 John 2:15–16

“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the father but from the world”.

• What should we do when we do a sin?

Nathan’s message

Read 2 Samuel 12:1–6

Nathan stirred David’s conscious with a troubling story that could have happened in the kingdom.

The cost of sin

Read 2 Samuel 12:7–12

• What was the punishment?

David Confesses His Guilt

Read 2 Samuel 12:13–25

• What did David do after he realized that he sinned?

Sin separates us from God. The consequences of sin are painful but not nearly as painful as eternal separation form God. When God reaches out to us confess our sins and let Him restore the relationship with us.

• How about temptation…… Why are we tempted?

James 1:13–14

“When tempted, no one should say ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.”

• What should we do......How to overcome it?

1 Corinthians 10:13

“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.”

God loves us so much. It is an unfailing love.
