Slide201. God tests people for good, He does not tempt people for evil
James 1:13-15

When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For
God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone
;
Slide212. Each individual is responsible for their sin
James 1:14
but
each one
is tempted when, by
his own evil desire
, he is
dragged away and enticed
.
Slide223. Yielding to Temptations gives birth to spiritual separation from God
James 1:15
Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to
sin
; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to
death
.
