Ellen White teaches that overcoming temptation is possible through faith in Christ, prayer, self-knowledge, and persistent effort. Here are key points from her writings: 1. Jesus is your helper. In His strength, you can overcome temptation. Even if you have been overcome before, it need not always be so. Summon will-power and rely on Christ (CTBH 147.2). 2. Many feel powerless against temptation, but you can and must resist. Even if you have failed repeatedly, do not despair. God can help you, and you need not be overcome (MH 174.6). 3. Temptations, especially those appealing to appetite, can only be overcome with God's help. With every temptation, God promises a way of escape. Trust in Him and use the means He provides (CTBH 22.2). 4. When tempted, steadfastly resist evil. Pray for help, and believe that strength comes through Jesus. Look to Him for grace to overcome your faults (SL 90). 5. No one can be forced to sin; it requires your consent. Temptation is never an excuse for sin. Cry out to God for help, and He will assist you in every time of temptation (5T 177.2). 6. Prayer is essential. When temptations and trials come, go to God and pray earnestly. He will give you grace and strength to overcome (2SG 290.1). 7. Resist temptation as much as you can, and trust Jesus to do what you cannot. Be careful in your words and actions, and let God's Word guide you (3T 378.1). 8. The Bible promises: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4:7, 8; SJ 48.5). 9. One failure to overcome leaves the soul unguarded. Evil habits, if not resisted, become stronger. Constant prayer and reliance on God are necessary (MH 509.4). 10. Temptation is Satan’s act, but yielding is your own. No one can force you to sin. There is no excuse for sin (4T 623.2). 11. Avoid placing yourself needlessly in the way of temptation. Know your weaknesses and seek God’s help when duty calls you into difficult situations (GW92 371). 12. Even if someone falls repeatedly, do not give up on them. Continue to support and help them, as victory is possible (MH 173.2). 13. Temptation cannot be entirely removed; everyone must learn to resist as part of the Christian life (CTBH 153.4). In summary, Ellen White emphasizes that God provides strength and a way of escape for every temptation, and that victory is possible through reliance on Christ. References: - White, E. G. (1890).
