1 John 2:16 “For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.”
Since we are still on the flesh which is still sinful, all of us still has a weakness. It’s either one of this three: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. The best thing to do is to know your weakness and keep yourself away from them because this is where the enemy will exploit you and make it his stronghold.
The enemy will keep plugging away at your weakness getting you to repeatedly fail in that area. After a while it’s “Oh Lord, I’ve done it again.” And pretty soon you start to doubt your position in Christ and possibly His love for you. Well, that is what the enemy would like anyway. So be on your guard, know your weakness and don’t let the enemy exploit you on it!
