Temptation And A Conception
Let us muse today from James 1:15 and a proper Encounter With Temptation on the road to God’s Blessings. I want to look today at Temptation’s Conception. The word ‘conceived’ in verse 15 is the word for a baby being conceived prior to birth. We sin because of an unholy conception between opportunity and desire. Satan comes with an outward stimulation for what God has forbidden and we have the lustful thought in our mind that coincides. When the stimulating desire and the thought come together their will be a conception. What will we name the baby? James says, ‘call him sin’. Let us remember, God always offers a door of escape with each temptation. Lest we blame it on somebody or something, remember, we just ran by the door of saying no to sin.
