Temptation is a reality in this life, and we face it on a daily basis in our walk of faith. The devil's purpose of temptation now with us is the same as it was with Jesus: to cause us to doubt who Jesus really is, and to doubt who we are in relationship to Him. We often con ourselves into thinking that we are entitled to indulge in temptations that come our way; that somehow the normal rules which apply to everyone else don't apply to us. For all of the temptations that we give in to, for all our sins, Jesus paid the penalty by giving his life on the cross. He now calls us to follow Him.
