Temptations
Every Christian wrestles with temptation. But what if we understood temptation not as failure, but as a battleground for faith?
William Hunt explains three truths:
Temptations are a real part of life.
Temptations come from both Satan and our sinful nature.
Temptation itself is not sin—it’s an invitation to do wrong.
The danger is not in being tempted but in giving in. William Hunt outlines five ways to resist:
Acknowledge your sinful nature.
Pursue righteousness daily.
Stay alert to Satan’s traps.
Avoid compromising situations.
Remember the consequences of sin.
This message challenges us to stop excusing temptation and start resisting it by drawing near to God.
“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.”
