How do I overcome temptation, sin, bad habits, wrong doing?

Act 10:43 BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST ...
'All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives foregiveness of sins through his name.'

Acts 2:38-39
'Peter replied, "Repent and be baptised, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children for all who are far off - for all whom the Lord our God will call."

Proverbs 15:6 LOVE ...
'Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil.'

Mark 11:25 FORGIVE ...
'And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.'

I Corinthians 10:13 TRUST ...
'No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so you can stand up under it.'

Hebrews 4:15 Know that you are not alone ...
'For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin.

Hebrews 2:14-18 Jesus can relate to you...
'Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death - that is the devil - and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendents.

For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
