This question is for Christians who know the Bible only!?

Question

I need some quidence on what the bible says about how to avoid being tempted to commit adultry in my mind when being married. I know how wrong it is and I love the Lord and want to obey Him. The problem is I see this person often because he is a friend of the families. I'm not sure where to look, but I know the Bible has insight and if anyone who loves the Lord as well could pray for me and maybe give me a little more insight that would be great! Sincerly Sadly being tempted!

Thank you so much already for those answers I can't chose a fav becuase all gave me many scriptures to chew on! Just to let all of you know I know I am dead to my sins and alive in Christ I guess my biggest temptation was feeling more guilt for my weakness than realizing it is Gods strength and not my own and through my weakness His power is shown!
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
Thank you all for your Faith in the Lord and for helping me to look to His word for the truth!

Answer 2

1 Corinthians 10:13 offers some great comfort when faced with overwhelming temptation; in a nutshell it says God won’t allow you to be tempted above what you’re able to withstand with God’s help, and that there is always a way to escape temptation. (Paul sure dose know what he’s talk’n about.) I don’t know of any passages of scripture that specifically talks about resisting the temptation to commit adultery. My advice to you (and this pretty much can be applied to anything) is prey for strength to resist the temptation, and avoid situations that bring the temptation up as much as possible. This will probably not be easy as the other person in question is friend of the family. I’d do everything you can to have someone near you and/or the other person when you’re in the same place. (It’s harder to commit sexual sin with an audience.) Also, when you do find the temptation arising, try to clear your mind or think of something else. Prey silently in your mind, quote a favorite scripture, or recite a hymn or something like that. Above all, continually prey for strength to overcome this particular temptation! Do this, and the Lord will bless you with it.
If all else fails, do everything you can to escape from the compromising situation; remember what Joseph did when confronted with Potiphar’s wife. (Genesis chapter 39)

Answer 3

Good question. Romans 10:17 says "Faith comes by hearing the word of God" In Matthew 4 we see Jesus coming out of a 40 day fast.Someone who does this is very weak. Satan came to tempt Him But He responded with the WORD. The more of Gods word that is in you the easyer it is to resist. Read Romans 12:1, Colossians 3:1, I Corinthians 10:13 and ask God to help you

Answer 4

Say a prayer and ask god to give you the strength to get rid of any malicious thinking. Satan is working on you and see how far you can go and if you fall into his temptation then you lost.

If you stand for what you believe in life you win. Adultery is a downfall in every man/wonam, and it will destroy you mentally and physically. Do not put yourself into that position. Do not fall into any temptation and it is so easy once you make that choice it is so devastating to all. God gives us choices and that choices is to make sure you use it right. Adam and Eve give in to temptation and look what it did to all humanities. Learn from them. Goodluck

Answer 5

"Why be captivated, my son, with an immoral woman, or embrace the breasts of an adulterous woman? For the LORD sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes. An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him. He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his incredible folly." -Proverbs 5:20-23

As you can see the bible clearly says Adultry is bad... so don't do it. Yet it also says:

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." -Psalms 119:105

"Come unto me, ye who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28

So there is hope, as long as your believe in God and trust in him you will find that he gives you the strength to overcome these feelings. Give your worries to him and you will be able to avoid them. Also, make the distinction that it is human nature to have brief moments of weakness, just remember not to dwell on these feelings and instead focus on the love you have with your spouse and with God. Trust in him and you will be blessed.
