INTRODUCTION
Honesty Defined
truthfulness, sincerity
freedom from deceit or fraud
We can all agree, christian and non-christian, that a Bible-based Christian must be truthful, sincere, not deceitful, and definitely not perpetrating a fraud.
Christians Must Be Honest
Note title of lesson
Play on “do as I say, not as I do”
Good example in Paul
Was Paul a perfect Christian?
(read rom 17)
Honest When We Admonish & Judge
A Sinner’s kryptonite for the Christians is in Matt7:1
show judgment slides
honest Christian will first:
Honest When We Are Tempted.
We are most prone to give into temptation, not at our lowest moment, but at our highest moment.
Satan’s primary tool to get us is “Pride”
Don’t believe the hype
Keep even (not too high, not too low)
Thank God for your blessings
1. Temptation is common to everyone
In All Honesty - I am not here to tell you how stop temptation - impossible why
Every single person who has walked the face of the earth has been tempted including Jesus Christ
Being like Christ is to be tempted because He was tempted
And to be like Christ we must overcome that temptation and not give into it.
2. Temptation takes place in a controlled environment
1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)
...God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability...
Temptation in and of itself is not a sin - Jesus was tempted
Giving in to the temptation is the sin
The Bible does not give us hope that we will ever be free of temptation.
It does offer encouragement in order to fight it
Some may think that more mature I become in my Christianity the less I will be tempted.
Let me be Honest - NOT
Satan does his fiercest fighting with those who are walking closest to Jesus.
3. God Provides a Way of Escape from Temptation.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)
...but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Don’t say I couldn’t help it - you didn’t want to help it
God sees the temptation from beginning to end.
He is not caught off guard.
- There are always options (the escape route God provided and the give in route)
Bosian War - Scott O’Grady story
We have a role
Man with the donut addiction
God provides the way of escape, but we have to take it!
Recognize the possibility of it
Request help in advance of it
Resist the Devil and he will flee from you
