We live in a world where everywhere you turn temptation is just around the corner. Most people and Christians included – don’t take temptation seriously enough. Many think of ‘temptation’ as wanting to indulge in something that’s naughty but nice: like being tempted to have another chocolate or piece of cake; or being tempted to stay up and watch the late film; or have another half hour in bed. That’s not the biblical view of temptation. Temptation, if left unchecked, leads to sin, and sin is serious; deadly serious. Sin offends God and it affects our relationship with Him. Sin always has consequences and it separates us from God… until it has been dealt with. Today we will be learning how to fight temptation and sin in our lives.
