After studying what we should seek, I also decided to study what we should resist. There aren’t as many verses using that word. I’ll probably also look up words like "avoid" and "flee". Here’s what I found on resist:
Resist:
the wicked, by keeping the law
anyone trying to corrupt you. Know your God and resist them.
sin
the devil & he will flee from you
the devil, standing firm in your faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the
world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
temptation
Do not resist:
the kingdom of the Lord
God, whose wisdom is profound, whose power is vast
God, be willing & obedient, and you will eat the best from the land.
an evil person. “If someone strikes you onthe right cheek, turn to him the other also, and
if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.” Your grace to him will make his evil all the more obvious and embarrasing. He may even realize that he is wrong, and make a change.
the Holy Spirit
God’s will
God’s purification in your life
