Understanding Temptation? James 1:12-18 Each one is tempted when – temptation is universal 2 Cor. 2:11 He is drawn away – dragged away by Satan Gen. 3:1, 2 Cor. 11:3 – he is crafty

Understanding Temptation? James 1:12-18 By his own desires – lusts – each person has a different set of challenges, 1 Cor. 9:24-27 And enticed – a lure (bait) – this is the temptation! Cf. 1 Timothy 6:9-10

Understanding Temptation? James 1:12-18 When desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin – we think about something and prepare to give into it. Walk in sin Eph. 2:1-3 Leads to death – the wages of sin is death Romans 6:23, Luke 8:13
