Closing:

So in closing let’s look at 5 takeaways or lessons for Today:

1. No one is exempt from temptation. 

God does not tempt us but he will allow us to be tested. Think of Hiking. You will never gain strength if you only train on the flattest, easiest terrain. Think of testing as strength training and temptation as the voice that tells you it is too hard and just to quit. 

1. Temptation is not the same as sin. 

We all face temptation but that is not sin. Once you accept the temptation, hold it in your heart, and act upon it, the action is where the sin is committed. 

1. Respond to temptation with God’s word. 

Use the word to repel temptation but when that is not enough flee temptation like in the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife. 

1. Resist the devil in the power of the Spirit. 

Pray, Read the Word, and remain in fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ

1. Pursue the will of God.

With all your heart, mind and soul pursue God. Pursue him in your thoughts, your words and your actions.
