1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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.
Through the fall of Adam, when we enter this earth we are born sinners. The only way to be made righteous is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Although we’re made righteous, because of our sin nature, we are constantly being lured or enticed back to sin. It’s a daily battle to live righteously and resist the temptation to sin.
Everyone is tempted in different areas. Some are tempted in the areas of fornication, homosexuality, drug addiction, etc. We (including myself at one time) tend to discredit the statement “I was born that way” when people desire to be in a homosexual relationship. Well, that statement could be true for that person. Homosexuality could be their point of weakness or temptation. This DOES NOT give them the right to live this lifestyle just because it’s their point of weakness. They have to resist the temptation to commit “their” sin like anyone else.
Thank God He has given us the power to overcome ALL temptation.
Be Blessed!
