“Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.”— 2 Timothy 2:22 (NLT)

Easy to Remember

One of the most helpful verses to remember when we encounter temptation is 2 Timothy 2:22. This is a simple, profound truth: don’t argue with temptation or try to overpower it. Just do one thing—run away. As believers, we don’t deliberately set out to abandon our commitments and walk in disobedience, but we risk burning down everything when we get too close to the flame. What temptations are you drawn to? Run!
