Ten Bible Verses to Fight Back Temptation

The world is filled with various temptations, such as material and sinful desires. Sometimes, we want to overcome them but the fact shows that we fail at these temptation and become weak, even fall fighting it all together. Actually we need to check the reason why we are tempted, enticed and turn weak. Overcome them with the help of God rather than just fighting it ourselves.

Some Christians may claim: why do we fail when asked to depend on God? The main reason is that we stay far away from God and His word. In our daily life, we don't treat God's word with our hearts open like deers pant for streams of water and fight back temptation with God's word. 

Read these ten Bible verses to fight the temptation you experience everyday:

Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin.
