TEMPTATION - (Part 1 - God, You, Me)

James 1:12-15

Continuing his opening theme, James makes clear there are (only) two possible outcomes to TRIALS (difficulties, adversities, hardships) --

Positive (verse 12): "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him."

Negative (verse 13): "Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He Himself tempts no one."
