Ortlund contends that any battle with porn isn't really a battle with porn, or even willpower, but a battle about hope. He believes the fight is won "by believing that God's love ... is too great to be limited to what" we deserve. He likens victory to walking in nobility and every time a temptation is slayed like a dragon, porn becomes a little more dead in this world. We should work towards this end to bring honor to each and every woman who has been created in God's image and no longer allow ourselves or someone close to us to treat them otherwise and with disrespect.
