b'There\\u2019s nothing worse than feeling stuck in an endless cycle of sin. These sin cycles steal our life, slowly consuming us until we don\\u2019t even recognize ourselves. Pornography is a sin that is very difficult to give up, feeding the cycle of frustration and self-hatred. Thankfully, there is One who can break that cycle.\\nJesus helps you break the power of pornography, or any sin, in a few ways.First, He offers forgiveness to those who know Him. Because Jesus lived a perfect life\\u2014then took our sins upon Himself when He died on the cross\\u2014He removed God\\u2019s righteous wrath from us and gave us His righteousness before God. In other words, when God looks at us, He doesn\\u2019t see our sin. He sees Jesus\\u2019 perfection.\\nHow does that help break our sinful patterns? By killing our self-hatred. Yes, it is right to mourn sin: it\\u2019s okay to be frustrated with yourself and to bring those frustrations to God. But that doesn\\u2019t mean you have to live there. Jesus came to bring an end to that mourning. By recognizing that Jesus has forgiven us and thanking Him for His incredible grace, we start focusing on God\\u2019s goodness instead of on our own sins.\\nAnother tool God gives us is Jesus\\u2019 resurrection. God\\u2019s power raised Jesus from the dead, and that same power lives in you if you know Jesus. God\\u2019s power is the only way to defeat sin. Ask Him to remind you that His Holy Spirit lives in you and can defeat sin for you. You can also know that, because of Jesus\\u2019 resurrection, you will one day be resurrected from the dead, free of sin and brokenness forever.\\nLastly, Jesus gives us community. Find a trusted Christian you can confess your sin struggles to and ask them to keep you accountable. Ask them to remind you of Jesus\\u2019 forgiveness and His power that lives in you. God is stronger than any sin, and He can bring healing.\\n\\u2022 What sin cycle do you struggle with? Who can you talk to about it? How does Jesus help you break it? \\u2022 How can you help your friends who are stuck in a sin cycle? \\u2022 What does Jesus\\u2019 forgiveness mean for your everyday life? \\nThe Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.
