When
tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by
evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted
when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after
desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown,
gives birth to death. James 1:13-15
A
temptation is from the devil designed to make you do something against God’s will. A testing is from God designed to make you
mature and grow in your faith.
God
won’t do anything to make you sin.
That’s the devil’s job. God wants
you to resist sin and grow stronger in your faith. His testing gives you a choice to choose sin
or choose God. Satan only wants you to
choose sin.
