How do we conduct ourselves?

It is common to have temptations, and more so for a believer who's chosen the narrow road. I did raise a question when I was first saved, how do we overcome temptations, and here's what I'd got back from my spiritual elders...

Do nothing you would not do if Jesus were coming
Say nothing you would not say if Jesus were coming
Think nothing you would not think if Jesus were coming

It's harder than said, but that's when our obedience is put to test. Say a prayer in the face of temptation, it will surely help!
