Jesus came to earth to be the final sacrifice for our sins. While here on earth he was tempted in every way but didn’t sin. We don’t have to live life being tripped up by the same sins. God made a way of escape and his word says it’s not beyond our ability to reject sin. Run to Jesus. He’ll show you the way out.
