Temptation is a human experience, not caused by God, who is not able to be tempted and does not tempt anyone. Instead, temptation arises from our own desires, which, if indulged, leads to sin and ultimately death. The pathway to sin involves lust, longing, lingering, and loss. However, God is the source of all good and perfect gifts, unchanging and trustworthy. Through His truth, He enables us to overcome temptation.
