75 Biblical Ways to Resist Sexual Temptation

If you want to resist unwanted sexual urges and overcome sexual temptation, here are 75 ways from the Bible (including the Bible) to overcome sexual temptation.

by Alan Sharpe

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.

2. Clea

To Quit Porn, Obey One Do and One Don’t | Romans 13:14

Previous article Next article
by Alan Sharpe

The cure for habitual sexual sin, such as looking at pornography, is essentially one thing you are to do and one thing you are to avoid.

by Alan Sharpe

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

Romans 13:14

Anyone who says the Bible is a book of do’s and don’ts is correct as far as quitting pornography is concerned. The cure for habitual sexual sin is essentially one thing you are to do and one thing you are not to do. Paul gives us each one at the end of the 13th chapter of his letter to the Romans. “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ,” says Paul, “and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”

“Put on the Lord Jesus Christ” is the do. You are commanded to clothe yourself with Christ. You are to put Him on in the same way that you are to “put on the full armor of God” (Ephesians 6:11). You are to adopt the spirit of Christ to such an extent that you reproduce it in your outward walk and conduct.

Making provision for the flesh is the don’t</st

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

Perform the positive actions that God commands, and you’ll have a positive day today, free of sexual sin.

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

To Quit Porn, I Quit YouTube | Romans 13:14

“Make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”
Romans 13:14

Recovering drug addicts don’t carry heroin in their pockets. Recovering alcoholics don’t visit bars. And Christian men who want to quit pornography don’t mindlessly surf video-sharing sites. If you want to conquer your sinful flesh, you must make no provision for the flesh, to fulfil its lusts. This means getting off YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, TikTok and other video-sharing sites that host inappropriate videos.

I’m not talking about pornographic video sites. I’m talking about the popular sites that host videos that feature nudity, sexual inuendo, young women in bikinis, racy music videos, undressing, sex scenes from movies and TV shows, pool scenes, shower scenes, and more. Videos don’t have to be pornographic to be off limits. If they fulfil your lusts, they have to go.

To Conquer Sexual Sin, You Need Christ and Crucifixion (Yours) | Romans 13:14

Don’t expect to live a life of sexual purity with worship alone, or willpower alone. You need both.

To Conquer Sexual Sin, You Need Christ and Crucifixion (Yours) | Romans 13:14

“But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”
Romans 13:14

The cure for habitual sexual sin is Christ and crucifixion. Christ as the primary object of your affection. And your own crucifixion of your flesh. You need both to gain victory over pornography and masturbation: adoration and action, worship and willpower, the Savior and self-denial.

This is what the Apostle Paul means when he says you must “put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” You used to walk in lewdness and lust (Romans 13:13). Now you are to walk properly, decently. And that requires both adopting something new and abandoning something old. It means embracing Christ, and forsaking the flesh.

To “put on” the Lord Jesus Christ means to clothe yourself with Him. It’s the same phrase that appears in the Letter to the

Sexual Purity Is a Journey, Not a Destination | Romans 13:13

by Alan Sharpe

You don’t have a destination. You only have your daily walk with the Lord. And that walk involves no sexual immorality today.

by Alan Sharpe

“Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.” Romans 13:13 ESV

If you want to get victory over habitual sexual sin, such as pornography and masturbation, first realize that you won’t find sexual purity on any map. Sexual purity isn’t a destination you hope to reach tomorrow. It’s a walk you take today.

In Paul’s words, you must “walk properly as in the daytime.” That is, you are to walk honestly (KJV), behave decently (NIV), conduct yourself properly and honorably (Amplified). Your walk is to involve no orgies or drunkenness, no sexual immorality or sensuality, and no quarreling or jealousy. Your walk is to be different from those who live in darkness.

Just don’t expect to arrive at a place in your life where you experience zero sexual lust, zero sexual temptation or zero sexual fantasies. T
