[QUOTE="com7fy8, post: 73459162, member: 331347"] I think your question has the basic answer > prevention. But while I have been younger in Jesus, I was able to fail in various ways. But it would have been worse if I had not gotten started with Christ and God's word and being with Jesus people. Plus, I would say God has been correcting me so more and more it is even easy to stay with loving. And loving is so more enjoyable, than selfish pleasure seeking and only pointing at how others are wrong. So, I did not do some prevention thing which made sure I would not go the wrong way. But I did go wrong, at times, but God had mercy on me and restored me. But if someone has not gotten started with Jesus, this can be why the person does wrong and does not change. And such a person does not have experience of how God's love and peace and joy is; and so the person does not get homesick to get back to God and loving. At times, when I even start to get interested in immoral pleasure stuff or self-righteous condemning of others, already I can feel myself being degraded and I right away I can start to get homesick and even be blessed out of it to loving, instead. So, I would offer how a person needs to first trust in Jesus, then seek God for real correction and maturing. Because while I have immature character . . . I can get in trouble. And if someone has not even gotten started, "without Me you can do nothing" (in John 15:5). So, what really works is however God's grace keeps me and is correcting and curing my character to be pleasing to God and have me loving. [/QUOTE]
