How Christians Fight Temptation

Every Christian experiences temptation, but temptation itself is not the same as sin. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains what Scripture teaches about temptation, desire, and the Christian life. Drawing from Hebrews 4, James 1, Matthew 26, and Galatians 5, Dave shows how believers can understand temptation biblically, resist sin through God's means of grace, and find encouragement in Christ, who was tempted in every respect yet without sin. Christians are not left to fight temptation alone. The Lord provides His Word, prayer, the fellowship of the church, and the power of the Holy Spirit to help His people stand firm and grow in holiness. Temptation is part of the Christian life, but God's grace is sufficient for every believer who seeks to follow Christ faithfully.
