What God has Provided to Help Us Overcome

  • His word – shows us what is right and what is wrong
  • Ability to think/remember – we must learn God’s word so that we can recall it when needed
  • Free will – we can choose to sin, or we can choose to overcome
  • God has provided everything we need, it’s up to us to take advantage of it
