Faith Works to Resist Temptation Studies in the Epistle of James Faith Works to Resist Temptation

Faith Works to Resist Temptation A crown of life is at stake! (James 1:12) The result of failing is spiritual death! (Romans 6:23; James 1:15; Ezekiel 18:4, 20) Resisting Temptation is of UNPARALLELED ETERNAL IMPORTANCE!

Faith Works to Resist Temptation Faith takes responsibility for dealing with temptation! Blaming others is counterproductive and self- deceiving! (James 1:13, 16; Genesis 3:12-13; Exodus 32:21-24). We can blame neither Adam nor our parents! (Romans 5:12; Ezekiel 18:20) The “soul that sins” is accountable for itself.

Faith Works to Resist Temptation Temptation has its roots in human desire! “Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires” (James 1:14). Loving the things of this world feeds the desires of the eyes, of the flesh, and of pride (1 John 2:15-17). Lust puts us at odds with God and our fellowman (James 4:1-4).

Faith Works to Resist Temptation How Faith works to Resist Temptation! Faith knows the scripture and relies on it as Jesus did (Romans 10:17; Psalm 119:11; Matthew 4:1-11; 1 Peter 2:21-22; Hebrews 4:15) Faith does whatever it takes to avoid sin (1 Corinthians 9:27; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 12:3-4) Faith channels and controls desires (Genesis 4:7; Titus 3:3; Ephesians 4:22-23; 1 Corinthians 10:13) Humility and prayer are keys! (James 4:6-10; Luke 2:46, 40)

Faith Works to Resist Temptation When we strive to resist temptation, we show the world that we have faith in a Great King who has the power to conquer evil! Let us each resolve to show our faith by our works (James 2:18).
