How does temptation draw us closer to God?

When faced with temptation, believers are often driven to cry out for God's help, recognizing their own frailty. This experience fosters a deeper relationship with God as they turn to Him in prayer and dependency. Moreover, as temptations drive us to seek divine aid, they also reinforce the reality that it is in our weakness that Christ's strength is perfected (2 Corinthians 12:7). Through these struggles, we learn to lean on God's promises and grace, ultimately growing in our affection for Him as we witness His faithfulness in our times of trial.
