By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5:22-26

Christians have a wonderful resource to keep them on the straight and true way, the Holy Spirit within us, and the Holy Bible. As we seek guidance from God’s Word and pray, He will enable us to detect and filter out the immoral. He can help us to keep from going where we should not go, doing what we should not do, and saying what we should not say. The world has much we need to avoid. As we seek daily to walk with His Spirit, we can rely on His Wisdom and His Power to stay clean.

The Holy Spirit is our ever-present protector.
