What are the sources of temptation according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Sources of temptation can include our own sinful nature, the influence of Satan, and the pressures of the world around us.

The sources of temptation are multi-faceted, as outlined in Scripture. The Bible reveals that our own sinful nature is inherently predisposed to yield to temptation, as seen in the description of the heart as unstable. Satan is described as a master tempter who uses various means to ensnare us, including deceptive thinking and external influences. Furthermore, the environment surrounding us, filled with sin and worldly distractions, plays a significant role in drawing believers away from God. Together, these factors create a landscape of challenges that Christians must vigilantly navigate through prayer and reliance on God’s guidance.
