Is temptation sinful?



          In today's spiritual life, when the temptation to sin arises, many think that they have committed a great sin and they succumb to a guilty conscience, crying out in distress, "would I turn away from Almighty God." Is temptation really sinful? No, it is not sinful. Then what is exactly sinful? What does one do when confronted with a sinful temptation? We will meditate on the answers to such questions in this Prophetic message.

         Our Heavenly father testified about Jesus Christ, the Son of God, saying, "He is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." The devil who heard this testimony asked the Heavenly God for permission to tempt Him. Heavenly God also gave permission to find fault if possible. In a similar way, the devil tempted the Old Testament saint Job.

         The Lord Jesus Christ was also led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and nights in preparation for the devil's temptation. He became hungry. Then the devil came to Him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." If He obeys this word and turns stones into bread, the devil will triumph in temptation. But the Lord Jesus Christ did not listen to the devil at all. On the contrary, He said against the devil, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." And He won the temptation.

         This is where the spiritual mysteries we need are hidden. The devil speaks to the Lord Jesus Christ during the temptation. He looks at the devil; He hears the devil's voice; He examines the devil's words; He also thinks about it. This is not a sinful act. This is a temptation which has come to the eyes, ears, and mind.

         What He does after this, determines sinful? or holy? It is a sin to listen to the devil, obeying him and turning the stone into bread. But, if you resist by disobeying the devil, it is holy. He resisted the devil. So, He won the temptation. This is the difference between temptation and sin.

        Similarly, the devil will talk to us through our thoughts. Inspire us to lustfully gaze at the opposite sex. The devil will instill in us the desire to sin. Friends and family members incite us to sin. This is a temptation rather than a sin. It's a sin if we listen to the devil's words and do as he says. It is holy if we do not obey and resist the devil.

       Therefore, God's children do not cry in distress that you have sinned because the temptation arises. Don't give room to a guilty mind. Stand in temptation and win it. You will defeat the devil.

 (Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.... This is a precious mystery. Meditate on this repeatedly, and SHARE it with your friends. It will be a blessing to you.)
