Temptation

My school for this evening:

Six verses in the bible that talk about temptation are listed below.  In Genesis 3 Eve was tempted with the will of a human heart. Not the will of God. She had a human desire, and gave into her desires. Jesus was tempted in the dessert with worldly things by Satin. But Jesus did not give in, thus he was still pure and sinless, so He was still able to die on the cross and take on our sins. 1 John 2:16 explains the human desire behind both the Genesis and the Luke passages, (worldly desires). The bible has many verses on Temptation so I only shared a few. My personal favorite is in James, "Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God,' for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one." Which leaves two other choices. The temptations are either from this world which really has nothing to offer you except death, and then there's Satin, satin tempts with worldly things and if you give into his temptations, you will be judged and sent to live with him forever. How's that sound? Life in Hell is enough to scare me. Just remember, God is faithful (1 Corinthians 10:13) and He hasn't left you to live this life on your own.

　

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.



Matthew 26:41

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."



James 1:12-16

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.



Hebrews 2:18

For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.



Mark 14:38

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."



Luke 22:40

And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."
