Today I want to speak to you about the topic. Temptation versus testing. It is a very important topic. I realized these last days that a lot of believers cannot differentiate the difference between when a believer is tempted and when one is being tested. So let us get into it. Let's first look at temptation. As we have said before, we shall look at it from the perspective of what the Bible basically says. Not from our own intellect, our own thinking. But we shall be Scripture based. And it shall be what the Bible says, Not our own version. Let's first look at James Chapter one, verse 13 to 14. This is temptation, it says, Let no man say I am tempted of God for God cannot be tempted with evil.Nor. Does he tempt any man? So let no man say he's tempted by God. So we worship a God who cannot be tempted by evil, a God who will not tempt us as well.

First Corinthians Chapter 10, Verse 13 says No temptation has overtaken you except for what is common to mankind, he says. God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted. When you attempt, he will provide you a way out..So we have established temptation is not of God. Temptation is from our desires.
