“Who We Are in Christ – Temptation” 1John 3:9 NKJV World System: Seduction Own Flesh: Tradition = “a long established custom or practice that has the effect of an unwritten law.” Devil/Satan: Deception Temptations are “appeals & attempts to fulfill or meet a legitimate or perceived need in our life but in a way or time that is illegitimate or perverted.” James 1:13 NKJV Hebraism: using a negative to make a positive statement “lead us not INTO temptation” becomes “lead us OUT OF temptation” 1Corinthians 10:13 CEV Sin never “jumps a person” without warning. The “slide into sin” is a gradual process & progression. James 1:12-16 CJB (Complete Jewish Bible) “Any outward act(ion) is but the sequel to a thought” Emmet Fox Romans 12:1-2 NCV Romans 13:14 NKJV Romans 13:14 CEV If I can make provision for my flesh to fulfill its lusts, I can also make provision for my spirit so I don’t fulfill my flesh lusts. “If you have no time for prayer & meditation, you WILL have lots of time for sickness & trouble.” Emmet Fox Deuteronomy 30:15,19 NLT Sin never “jumps a person” without warning. The “slide into sin” is a gradual process & progression. At any point in the sin gestation period, we can choose to abort sin before it’s fully developed & birthed. James 1:15 CJB James 1:12 CJB
