The Science of Temptation, Part 2

There is a plan in place to hurt you and it will kill you if it can.

That sobering idea is the primary reason for this two-part series on temptation that concludes today: The Science of Temptation.

Temptation comes at you with a structure, a strategy, even a science.

This series asks: What is your plan to fight the temptation you face?

For, while temptation itself is not sin, it wants to lead you to sin and, then, to death:

For the wages of sin is death - Romans 6:23

Matthew 4:1-11

Three questions posed by Jesus’ temptation:

1. What do you want more than you want God?

2. Whom do you trust?

3. What will you trade for your soul?

The Three-Point Shield in the Face of Temptation

1. “It is written…” The activated power of the Word of God in our lives.

2. The faithfulness of God

1 Corinthians 10:13

3. The power of rescuing grace

 Hebrews 4:14-16
