Temptation
November 22, 2008
James 1:13-14 Twenty
13 Let no one say, when he is tempted, "It is God who is tempting me!" For God, who cannot be tempted to do wrong, does not himself tempt any one.
14 A man is in every case tempted by his own passions--allured and enticed by them.
In our lives it is so easy to say that God puts temptations in front of us. I mean, doesn't God want us to learn lessons to increase our faith. The problem is that God does not do that. Can you ever imagine a good father (or even a bad one) trying to tempt his child. No, temptations do not come from God. For the most part, our body will want what it wants and we give in to it.
