DESCRIPTION
Something is wrong inside of us. Though God desires for us to live the best kind of life full of beauty and good, our desires lead us astray. Like a starving man hungers for bread, our fallen nature hungers for sin. Even though we know it is wrong we long for the promised treasures of sin. Even though we know it will hurt us in the end, often we do not say no. Like an addict we are hooked. It wasn’t always this way. Once the first humans walked with God and did not desire sin they way we do today. But now our very nature is against God. Our flesh want to sin, and we do not need any external pressure or demonic influence to make us do it.TRANSCRIPT

1 The ORIGIN of TEMPTATION

Temptation
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the
wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the
woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat
from any tree in the garden'?"
2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat
fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but
God did say, 'You must not eat fruit
from the tree that is in the middle of the
garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
Genesis 3

Temptation
4 "You will not certainly die," the serpent said
to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you
eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you
will be like God, knowing good & evil." 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the
tree was good for food and pleasing to the
eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom,
she took some and ate it. She also gave
some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate
it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were
opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made
coverings for themselves.

"Very truly I tell you,
everyone who sins is a slave to sin... 36 So
if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
~Jesus (John 8:34,36)

Temptation 2 The PROBLEM of the
SINFUL NATURE
17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but
it is sin living in me. 18 I know that good
itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful
nature. For I have the desire to do what is good,
but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good
I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I
keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to
do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Romans 7

Temptation 2 The PROBLEM of the
SINFUL NATURE
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to
do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For
in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I see
another law at work in me, waging war against the
law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of
sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am!
Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus
Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my
mind am a slave to God's law, but in my
sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Romans 7

Temptation
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
17 For the sinful nature desires what is
contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is
contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so
that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the
Spirit, you are not under the law.... Galatians 5

Temptation
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Galatians 5

Temptation
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who
can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who
justifies. 34 Who then can condemn? No
one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also
interceding for us.Romans 8

13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to us all.
And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that
you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10
