6. YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION
1. Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each victory will help you
Some other win;
Fight manfully onward,
Dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He’ll carry you through.
Ask the Saviour to help you;
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.
2. Shun evil companions,
Bad language disdain;
God’s name hold in reverence,
Nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest,
Look ever to Jesus,
He’ll carry you through.
3. To him that o’ercometh,
God giveth a crown;
Thro’ faith we will conquer;
Though often cast down;
He who is our Saviour,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He’ll carry you through.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
