TEMPTATION

Posted on: 12-01-2013


The most natural and commonly happening thing with all the mankind is temptation. Temptation has been the biggest and deadliest weapon of SATAN. Many humans since civilizations have lost many important credentials of their life, because they could not resist temptation. There are two major incidents for the race of mankind which has significantly affected their fate, by temptations. One test of temptation had been in Garden of Eden where Adam and eve where the mankind lost the battle of temptation as explained "But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, so your thoughts should be corrupted from the simplicity due to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:3)". There is only one person on the face of earth who had directly refused and resisted entry of any kind of temptation, his name is JESUS CHRIST. For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to rescue those who are being tempted. (Hebrews 2:18). Oh! Halleluiah! This is the biggest relief for any human being alive on the face of earth. Human being cannot resist the SATAN on their own, no matter how hard they try; it is really difficult due to presence of sin in our blood which has been transferred thorough first generation disobedience of mankind. This has been replaced by the MESSIAH; CHRIST JESUS who's pure, sinless Blood has relieved our bondage of sin from our lives. This mystery has been explained by Paul, "For though walking about in flesh, we do not war according to flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, pulling down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ; (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)"

The only answer to temptation is bringing into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ. AMEN
