Ep. 232 | Dealing with Temptation Artwork

Kerrville Bible Church

Our message is Jesus Christ, crucified and raised from the dead! We seek to anchor everything in the Person and work of the Messiah, the Son of God. To proclaim Christ is to draw attention to Him, His perfect life and character, His compassionate and authenticating miracles, His sacrificial, atoning death and His victorious resurrection. To proclaim Christ is to point people not to the preacher, nor the church, nor a system of rules, but to a relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

What is the difference between temptations that arise within (i.e., evil desires) versus temptations that come from outside us (Satan and the world)? Can we say these can be distinguished as ‘the world, the flesh and the devil’ (as Eph. 2:1-3 seems to indicate)? Can Satan implant evil thoughts within us? How does he influence our thinking? Can he possess a Christian? Or only oppress us? If the latter, what does that means? How do we handle these different sources of temptation? How do we fight temptation? Bonus question: How do we know when temptation has morphed into sin? (e.g., James 1:14-15)
