What is an example of temptation?
Temptation is something that we all deal with. It rises up from within us and suddenly we have an urge to have something or to take action on something that we shouldn't. An example of a temptation is to overeat or to steal. It's something you want to do that is not what God would want you to do. That is what temptation is all about.
What are 3 sources of temptation?
The Bible says that there are 3 sources of temptations that man can face. The first is the world and the direction it is headed is opposite to where God is headed. The second is the flesh. Again, the flesh wars against our spirits and isn't interested in living godly. It is through the strength of the Lord that we can live holy. The last source is of course the devil. He will use every strategy he can to try and get us off the path that God wants us to walk on.
How do you relieve temptation?
Allow God to change you. Select the situations you get yourself into. Be careful about who you choose to spend time with and the places you go. It's important that you are able to exercise self-control. Pray for strength from God for this. Keep your attention on Him and His ability to help you. Keep your mind focused on the change you want to see.
