Overcoming Temptation

It’s Common for Everyone:

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. – I Corinthians 10:13

Jesus was tested like us, but did not sin:

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. – Hebrews 2:18

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. – Hebrews 4:15

God does not tempt any one The Devil does

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. James 1:13, 14

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. Matthew 4:1

And he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. Mark 1:13

For Husband and Wife:

Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. – I Corinthians 7:5

Watch yourself, before lifting someone from temptation:

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. – Galatians 6:1

Running after richness is a trap to Fall in to Temptation:

People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction – I Timothy 6:9

The devil always waits for an opportune time to tempt again:

When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time. – Luke 4:13

Pray that you will not fall:

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak. – Matthew 26:41

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak. – Mark 14:38

Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation – Luke 22:46

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. – Matthew 6:13

We shall overcome… Because he Lives!
