The Word of God is referred as the chief weapon (i.e. Sword of the Spirit) in our warfare against Worldly temptations. It is therefore essential for us to know scriptures that are specific to life situations so that we can stand firm in our faith. Consider them as your Super Hero powers to emerge as a Saint in today’s world.
Romans Chapter 6 verses 12 to13 says, “Sin must no longer rule in your mortal bodies, so that you obey the desires of your natural self. Nor must you surrender any part of yourselves to sin to be used for wicked purposes. Instead, give yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes”.
Romans Chapter 12 verse 1 says, “Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to Him. This is the true worship that you should offer”.
Romans Chapter 13 verse 13 says, “Let us conduct ourselves properly, as people who live in the light of the day – no orgies or drunkenness, no immorality or indecency, no fighting or jealousy”.
1 Corinthians Chapter 6 verse 9 says, “Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God’s Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves – none of these will possess God’s Kingdom”.
1 Corinthians Chapter 6 verse 15 says, “You know that your bodies are parts of the body of Christ. Shall I take a part of Christ’s body and make it part of the body of a prostitute? Impossible!”
2 Corinthians Chapter 12 verse 21 says, “…I shall weep over many who sinned in the past and have not repented of the immoral things they have done – their lust and their sexual sins”.
Galatians Chapter 5 verse 19 says, “What human nature does is quite plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy, and indecent actions…”
Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 19 says, “They have lost all feeling of shame; they give themselves over to vice and do all sorts of indecent things without restraint”.
1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 verses 3 to 8 says, “God wants you to be holy and completely free from sexual immorality. Each of you men should live with his wife in a holy and honorable way, not with a lustful desire, like the heathen who do not know God. In this matter, then, no man should do wrong to his fellow Christian or take advantage of him. We have told you this before, and we strongly warned you that the Lord will punish those who do that. God did not call us to live in immorality, but in holiness. So then whoever rejects this teaching is not rejecting man, but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit”.
