Temptation

Temptation in the Biblical sense is a situation in which one experiences a challenge to choose. The choice, between fidelity and infidelity to one’s obligations toward God. God “temptsu,” i.e., tests men’s fidelity to Himself. Men by their fidelity or infidelity “tempt,” i.e., test Him to reward or punish them.

James 1:13 says, “For God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.” In the first chapter of Job, we see that God allowed Satan to tempt Job, but with restrictions.

According to the Bible, your first step in overcoming temptation is to turn to Him in repentance and faith. Acknowledge that only Jesus the Christ can make you right before God. He died in your place to satisfy the just wrath of God against your sin, and He rose from the dead to prove the debt was paid.
