Psalm 119:11 ESV
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
*Many times people will tell you to avoid certain places, people, and scenarios to avoid being involved in sin. This is often true, and u have to know and be honest with yourself regarding what tempts you. However, we cannot isolate ourselves from everything, and we must have confidence in our deliverance and believe in our love and respect for God to avoid sin as well. For example, most restaurants serve alcohol and may play soothing or even soulful music while u dine. Because of your deliverance and remembering your love for God, u shouldn't feel tempted to cut loose and become drunk just bc something is sold around u.
Let's discuss courtship: If God gave u the green light to pursue your mate, He believes in your ability to abstain from sexual immorality...So, why can't u believe in yourself? The word of God is embedded in our hearts, and we know right from wrong, so why can't you trust yourself to do the right thing? Better yet, why go through doing the wrong thing to receive condemnation when doing what's right reaps multiplication? Sometimes we hold ourselves back bc we aren't truly believing in His word.
