It’s Inevitable…We Will be Tempted

“Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin,
when it is full-grown, brings forth death.”

James 1:15

Temptation ultimately stirs the evil and selfish desires within us, and if not resisted, we end up committing sin.

Satan will tempt us through our own fleshly desires, by whispering lies, and instilling fear, and causing doubt in the life of a believer. Another element of temptation, that works in conjunction with our flesh and Satan, is the world’s belief system. Today, through mass media and films, we are tempted in every area of life. Thanks to Jesus Christ we do not need to give into temptation. The Lord’s death and resurrection broke Satan’s power over us as well as breaking the power of sin in our life.

Thought for the Day:
The issue of temptation is important.
It is something we can not escape.
