[Endure Temptation\

This is a study on temptation. How are we tempted and why?

James 1:12Blessedis the man that endurethtemptation: forwhen he is

tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the LORD hath promised to

them that love him.

He that endureth temptation shall receive a crown of life, what a great

promise. Temptation is how we are tried. Resisting temptation is our faith at

work.

1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of

gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise

and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

The trial of ones faith is more precious than gold, it is tried by fire like gold.

James 1:3-4 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,

wanting nothing.

Having our faith tried works patience, and patience completed makes us

perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Then handling tribulations is easier. Life

is full of troubles, temptations but the words of the LORD help us overcome

bad with good.

John 16:33 These things I (Jesus) have spoken unto you, that in me ye might

have peace.In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I

have overcome the world.

The words the LORD spoke gives us peace, which make a great buffer from

the temptations and tribulations of life.

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which

is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Think it not strange when you have tribulation.

Jesus said..

Revelation 3:10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will

keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world,

to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Our next scripture coincides with the previous scripture, its a wonderful

promise to those who resist temptation.

Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth itto heart: and

merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken

away from the evil to come.

2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking

in his uprightness.

Walking in ones uprightness is enduring temptation and tribulation.

The LORDS prayer says.

Matthew 6:13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For

thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit

indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Watch and pray. Prayer demonstrates reliance on the LORD.

2 Peter 2:9 The LORD knoweth how to deliver the godly out of

temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be

punished:

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and

into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and

perdition.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for

God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

God does not tempt people! What is the source of our temptation?

Jesus explained the source of our temptations.

Mark 7:14-23 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto

them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile

him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the

man.

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples

asked him concerning the parable.

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye

not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it

cannot defile him;

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out

into the draught, purging all meats?20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,

adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,

blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

All our temptations come from within. Matters of the hearts. For from

within, out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, (or their

temptations). All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

James 1:14-15But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his

own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is

finished, bringeth forth death.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take

heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: butGod is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;

but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able

to bearit.

All of our temptations are common, God wont allow us to be tempted above

that which we are able to withstand. He always makes a way of escape.
