What Does the Bible Say About Temptation?
Temptation itself is not sin. Even Jesus Christ was tempted, yet He remained without sin and overcame victoriously.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13 – “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.”
- Matthew 26:41 – “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
- James 1:12 – “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life.”
These Scriptures remind us that victory over temptation is possible through God’s sustaining grace.

When we depend on God, we are empowered to:
- Develop self-control
