You cannot eliminate every temptation though. James tells us that blessed is he that endureth temptation! Sometimes He wants us to endure. When we endure a given temptation it shows our willingness and resolve to show our dedicated love to Christ, and the Bible says it gives us a crown of life in heaven. In Christ, Michie D.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://empretho.baptistblogs.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=12&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> Patrick,

“If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell”

It’s easier to eliminate temptation than to try to humble yourself in front of it imo.
