Temptation And Its Definition

Let us begin to muse today from James 1:14-15 and an Encounter with Temptation on the road to God’s Blueprint of Blessings. The words ‘trouble’ and ‘trials’ in the Bible are  used to describe the test of one’s faith. They are sent by God to make us stronger. Temptation is defined as a solicitation to do evil. It is brought by the Devil to make us weak and fall. In a time of temptation let us remember three things. In II Peter 1:4 God tells us that he put His own divine nature in us at salvation. In II Corinthians 10:13 we are told that God will be faithful in temptation and send us a door to escape. In Romans 6:6 we are told that on the cross our old man is crucifed and when we reckon it to be so we walk in victory over sin. When these three things are applied in a time of temptation we will be made strong and more than conquerors.
