About This Message
Teaching James 1:12-18, Pastor Addison lays out four steps for facing temptation: remember God never tempts anyone to sin, recognize that our own lust is the real traitor, consider where sin's path leads before acting, and remember God's unchanging goodness in every good and perfect gift. He distinguishes God's testing, meant for good, from Satan's temptation, meant to deceive and destroy.
Key Takeaways
- God tests believers for good but never tempts anyone toward sin.
- Our own lust, not God, draws us into temptation.
- Lust conceived brings forth sin, and sin finished brings forth death.
