Jesus is the DOOR

John 10: 7-10
"Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily verily, I say unto you, I am the DOOR of the sheep. All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the DOOR: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

The Christian and Temptation


What is temptation?
~Sometimes in the Bible, it is TESTING. 1Peter 1:6                                                    ~Sometimes, temptation is strictly an attempt of the Devil to solicit us to do evil. ~Sometimes, it has been defined temptation as being “the incitement of a normal desire beyond the boundaries set by God for man.
The Source of Temptation
~Temptation does not come from God. James 1:13,14
~Temptation comes from the Devil. 1Chronicles 21:1, Matt. 4:1, John 13:2,  1Thessalonians 3:5, James 1:3
Ways to Overcome Temptation
~We are to trust God to deliver us. 2Peter 2:9                                                                       ~We are to take the way to escape that God gives us. 1Cor. 10:3                                           ~We are to realize that God will not let us be tempted above our abilities. 1Cor. 10:13       ~We are to resist the temptation. Ephesians 6:16, Heb. 12:4, 1Peter 5:8-9                         ~We are to guard against the temptation. Matthew 26:41                                                      ~We are to pray not to lead us to temptation. Matt. 6:13a                                                           ~We are to be careful not to be a source of temptation to other people. Romans
14:13                                                                                                                                                 ~It will be an encouragement to each of us if we realize that all temptations are common to all.1Cor.10:13a                                                                                                                                            ~We should run immediately from the temptation.                                                             ~Remember that if you have yielded to temptation, you can still be restored. 1John 1:7
P.S. Every time you give in to any temptation, you let Satan mock the Lord.
