As Christians we are still be tempted to sin by desires that satan can bring into our minds (James 1:14-15; 2 Cor 11:3) Satan tempted Eve to disobey God (Gen 3:1-6), he tempted Judas Iscariot to betray Jesus (John 13:21-27), and Jesus, at the start of His Ministry on earth, resisted satans temptations three times with the Word of God (Matt 4:1-11). Jesus sympathizes with our temptations as He was very God but also very man (John 1:14) in His time on the earth, tempted to sin but sinless (Hebr 4:15). Jesus, through His death and resurrection stripped satan of all power and authority over our lives and won forgiveness for us (Col 2:15; Eph 1:7). The apostle Paul confessed that as a born-again Christian his spiritually renewed inner man or heart (spirit) desired to do right but his flesh or unregenerated mind, will and emotions wanted to follow the temptations to sin. (Rom 7:21-25). We share this struggle. However, as Paul also taught us, with the power of the Holy Spirit in us, we can direct our flesh, overcome temptations’ and walk in the victory Christ has for us (Rom 8:1-2). God told us that we are not tempted any differently than anyone else, that He won’t allow us to be tempted in any way we can’t handle and He will always show us how to escape every temptation with His Word (1 Cor 10:13). Get in the word grow your faith (Rom 10:17), pray and allow the Holy Spirt to have His way in your life.
