2 Bible verses that show you what is temptation
Exactly! What is temptation? Apostle James has spoken so simple and so well what is temptation:
"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by His own desires and enticed" - James 1:14
"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by His own desires and enticed" - James 1:14
The key of this Bible verse here, at least for me, is the word "desire". Let's see what happened with Eve when she was tempted by Satan:
"So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate..." - Genesis 3:6.
"So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate..." - Genesis 3:6.
What exactly want James to say in his letter to Christians about desires? When you were turned back to God, the old flesh still wanted you with all your old desires, but God already given you enough strength, courage and faith to conquer the temptation.
When you are born again, is about of Holy Spirit when God renew you in the faith of Jesus Christ. And because of Holy Spirit in you, you became a child and a son of God. Enough to understand that you and all godly Trinity are One. And that will help defeated temptation as you daily follow God!
Is important to walk daily with God so you may be courageous to defeat temptation meanwhile you will know God.
