How do we know we should avoid temptation?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are called to discern and avoid temptations that lead them away from their spiritual journey.

The need to avoid temptation is rooted in biblical wisdom and the experiences of those who have gone before us. Christian's refusal to heed Demas' call for distraction illustrates a sound understanding of the dangers involved. The historical reference to those who perished at the hill Lucre serves as a warning against the allure of worldly desires (1 Peter 2:11). Moreover, the Bible teaches that temptation can quickly lead us to spiritual ruin, as demonstrated through examples like Lot's wife, who was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back (Genesis 19:26). This highlights the necessity for believers to be vigilant and to rely on God's strength to resist temptations that threaten their journey of faith.
