The Bible gives clear-cut direction to help you “flee from the desires incidental to youth.” (2 Timothy 2:22) This involves ‘deadening,’ not the normal desire for sexual relations in an honorable marriage, but immoral sexual impulses. (Colossians 3:5) Studying the Bible can help you accomplish that. It can give you the moral strength to run away from what is wrong​—even though that wrong may seem very appealing. It can “give to the inexperienced ones shrewdness, to a young man [or woman] knowledge and thinking ability” so as to avoid circumstances that could lead to immoral conduct.​—Proverbs 1:4.

Young Dan is one who has benefited from studying the Bible. While acknowledging that promiscuous teenagers seem to be having fun, he says he’s also seen “babies born out of wedlock, sex diseases, and many other problems.” He asks: “If I didn’t study the Bible, how would I be living?” The Bible can save you, too, from “the ways of death.”

Regular Bible study has helped Paula. She said, I developed “a closer relationship with Jehovah, my Christian brothers, and my family.” Sandy says it helped her “build a conscience” that is responsive even in relatively minor matters. She says: “I can think of scriptures or principles that enable me to decide what to watch on TV.” And remember Ken who was mentioned at the outset? He began reading the Bible more often and says: “The more I read, the more I was impressed, the more it made sense.” Ken was moved to become a baptized servant of God.
