How Christ Offers Freedom From PornographyMinta

Seek Community

As you walk in the way of the righteous, keep in mind that you do not have to do it alone. God created us with a need to come alongside one another. The body of Christ, the Church, should work together to glorify God as one unit made of individual members, and as a person who trusts in God, you are part of that Church. You are an irreplaceable member of Christ’s body, and there are other members who can come alongside you, joining you in your pursuit to walk in the way of the righteous.

Finding these people requires a great deal of vulnerability. Telling others that you need their help is difficult, but it will play a vital role in getting you free. When other people keep you accountable and check up on you, you are more likely to succeed. There is strength in numbers.

If you’re not already part of a local church body, joining one can be extremely helpful. In a healthy local church, you will find people who have overcome these struggles themselves and people who want to walk alongside you and care for you as you star to live in Christ’s freedom.

There are also great software programs that help practically by blocking websites and keeping you accountable. Organizations like XXXChurch and Covenant Eyes were formed to help people get free from pornography addiction. They can help you, too.

In the scriptures for today, you will see how God created us for community. We were not meant to fight alone. As you move on from this study, as you begin to live in the way of the righteous, seek God through His Word and through prayer. Seek out other people through Christ’s church. May God be with you as you continue to fight the good fight. It can be difficult at times, but God is with you. He can get you through it.
