       So now that we've gone over so of the facts about the actual problems themselves, let's take a look at how we can combat sexual temptation and live good lives behavior God. I will note, number one, that we need to keep our eyes in check. If we don’t look at our fellow women in wrong ways, it will greatly help our minds not to think thoughts we shouldn’t. It is true that we come up with things with our imaginations, as I’ve already discussed, but I think more often than not men are thinking about women they know if real life. But if we, as men, never looked at women in wrong ways, we would never think about them in wrong ways, right? So, we can start here, by guarding our eyes against looking at the women we know in wrong ways. Remember, Jesus made this clear in Matthew chapter 5. He said, ““You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:27-28, ESV). So Jesus said that even looking at a women with lustful thoughts, or motives, is the same is committing the act in his eyes.
