Tame Your Temptation

Lesson 3

December 13, 2023 • Curtis Epnett • James 1:12–16

There is a definite possibility of temptation. It is sure. Temptation is not a matter of if but when. And when it comes, it is singularly crafted for each individual.


There is a divine impossibility of temptation. It is impossible for God to be tempted or to tempt any man.


There is a direct responsibility of temptation. We're tempted when we are drawn away by our own lust and desires, therefore we have a responsibility to turn away from temptation. Looking long turns to lusting after the wrong.


There is a decided accountability. We are accountable for the decisions we make to give into temptation. When we choose to sin, it is a choice for which we are accountable.
