KEEP ON GUARD IN WHAT AREAS -Conclusion

 Do you know in which areas you are most easily tempted? It does us no good to fool ourselves by denying our weaknesses or concluding that we are too strong to fall into wrongdoing. (1 John 1:8) After all, Paul indicated that even those "who have spiritual qualifications" might give in to temptations if they do not keep on guard. (Galatians 6:1) We must be honest with ourselves and acknowledge the areas in which we are not strong. 2 CORINTHIANS 13:5. 

Once we have identified those areas in which we are most susceptible to temptation, what should we do? Strengthen our resistance! To illustrate, in Bible times the most vulnerable part of a city wall was its gates. Therefore, the gates were the most heavily guarded. Similarly, we need to give special attention to any areas in which we know that we are especially weak. - 1 CORINTHIANS 9:27.
