Many years ago, I received the following question: “Lately, I
haven’t had trouble staying away from sin, and I want it to stay that way.
Usually when I hit a high point like this, I get lazy and screw up again. It
often seems that sin will creep up behind me, and then there I am having to
deal with it and try to get back to where I left off. Could you give me advice
to avoid falling into that pattern again?”
Regarding prospective sin, keep your mind and heart on Christ,
not on the temptation or weakness.
“Since, then, you have been raised with
Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right
hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on
earthly things. For you died, and your life is now
hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your
life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory” (Col. 3:14).

to Be a Strong Christian: Walking in the Light blog post series.
