Fighting Temptation With the Word of God

Every Christian faces temptation, but temptation itself is not sin. Even Jesus was tempted, yet He responded every time with the Word of God. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how believers can fight temptation biblically and practically by using Scripture as their primary weapon. Drawing from Psalm 119:11 and Jesus' example in the wilderness, this episode shows that victory over temptation does not come through sheer willpower, but through knowing, believing, speaking, and obeying God's Word. You'll learn why temptation is part of the Christian life, how Scripture exposes the lies behind temptation, why speaking God's Word matters in moments of testing, how obedience flows from believing God's truth, and how Scripture reshapes our desires over time. Christian, you are not helpless in the face of temptation. You have the same weapon Christ used—the living and active Word of God.
