Heart Guide for Lesson 6:
The Pathway of Temptation

Don't give up! Repeated failings, though discouraging, can actually help us through the following ways that our God causes all things to work for our good (Romans 8:28).

1) Grow a perfect hatred for the sin (and so learn to better resist it).

2) Gather a deeper humility and compassion for others in their sins (by realizing daily our own weakness and need of grace).

3) Gain a firmer confidence in God's mercy (as we discover again and again His patience with us). 

Since repentance is something fallen angels and demons will never do, don't expect temptation to cease, though specific ones may diminish in power and intensity, once deliverance is gained.

Rate your progress at growing in the grace that is coming to you even in your area of struggle with 1, being little progress; 5, being lots of growth. Be encouraged!
