God Is Not the Source of Temptation (James 1:13-15)

“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 

But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 

Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death” ( James 1:13-15)

Temptations are destructive lies wrapped in fascinating packages. 

Like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, they make promises that are not true.

Temptation is to hold deadly delusions and tricks beneath its beautiful look. 

We as children of God must choose to suffer affliction rather than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.

We must always remember that temptation is from the devil, whom Jesus called “the father of lies” who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. 

It is a lie that we will get relieved if we only yield to our lusts, but it is nothing more than another link in the chain that sin uses to control us. 

The Gospel calls temptations “deceitful desires”. 

We want to be free from sin and not be under its bondage. 

Receiving the grace of the new nature given to us through Jesus Christ, makes us able to resist all the lustful desires and not to grieve the Holy Spirit within us. 

Thank you Jesus for giving us your authority over sin and death and be able to resist all the devil’s temptations. 

Amen.
