If you want to resist unwanted sexual urges and overcome sexual temptation, here are 101 ways from the Bible (including the Bible) to overcome sexual temptation.

by Alan Sharpe Leave a Comment on 101 Biblical Ways to Resist Sexual Temptation

If you are a Christian and if you are even remotely healthy, you face sexual temptation on occasion. If you want to resist these urges so that you do not fall into sin, here are some biblical ways to overcome sexual temptation (including the Bible).

1. Count the Cost
Sexual sin comes at a price, in this life and in the next. For one thing, adulterers and the sexually immoral will not inherit the kingdom (Galatians 5:19-21). That’s the eternal cost—your soul, punished forever, in the lake of fire. But there’s also a price to pay in this life if you give in to sexual temptation. Think sexually transmitted diseases. Unwanted pregnancy. Divorce. Loss of custody of your kids. Getting fired. Scandal. Loss of your testimony. Jail time. Your name on the Sexual Offender Registry.

Sexual Purity Is a List of Do's, Not Don'ts

If you are a Christian man who has been struggling to overcome pornography or masturbation for some time, you may feel that the only path to victory is a life of self-denial. You may feel that the weight of scripture on this topic is a long list of “Thou shalt nots.” But the opposite is the case, particularly in the New Testament. The path to sexual purity is a list of things you are to do. Victory over sexual sin comes through what you do, not simply what you don’t do. Here are the top-10 actions you are commanded to take to live a life of sexual purity.

  1. Make a covenant with your eyes not to look upon attractive women (Job 31:1)
  2. Gouge out your right eye if it causes you to commit adultery, and throw it away (Matthew 5:29)
  3. Flee sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18)
  4. Put lust to death (<a href="ht

Want to Conquer Lust? Learn to Walk. | Galatians 5:16

When you walk alone, you go astray. You get lost. You stumble into sin. But when you walk in the Spirit, you do not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Masturbation Is a Sin Because it Doesn't Imitate Christ

I heard of a Christian man who was well into his 80s. A much younger brother asked him, “At what age does a man’s sexual desires diminish? When can I expect my sexual urges to disappear?” The older brother looked at him with a puzzled smile. “I don’t know,” he replied. “You will have to ask someone who is older than I am.”

If you are a Christian man, you cannot hope that your sexual lust is going to vanish with age. You cannot expect that it will atrophy without you doing something. To defeat lust, you must take the initiative. And that initiative is described for you in the New Testament book of Galatians:

“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”

Galatians 5:16

Walk. In. The. Spirit. Four simple words that promise a lifetime of freedom from falling to the lust of the flesh. Paul is not talking here simply about conquering lustful thoughts or desires. He is talking about
