“Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.” Romans 12:21
Part of the problem in our battle with temptation has to do with our approach. This verse is one example of how Scripture is clear that we don’t overcome temptation merely by saying “no” over and over. We conquer, or overcome, by doing good. Our focus must be on developing good habits through the power of the Holy Spirit, not on breaking bad habits through the strength of our own will.
