When Trials Become Temptations
James 1:13-18
JAMES 1:13 (ESV)
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
1st Desire
JAMES 1:14 (ESV)
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
2nd Deception
JAMES 1:15a (ESV)
Then desire when it has conceived...
3rd Disobedience
JAMES 1:15a+b (ESV)
Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin,
4th Death
JAMES 1:15 (ESV)
Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
JAMES 1:16-17 (ESV)
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
