What does the Bible say about God being unable to be tempted?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states in James 1:13 that God cannot be tempted with evil.

According to James 1:13, God cannot be tempted with evil, meaning His purity and goodness cannot be corrupted. This reiterates the nature of God as wholly good, contrasting His unchanging character with humanity's susceptibility to sin and temptation. Jesus, while being fully man and facing temptation, demonstrated how to resist it by relying on the Scriptures. God's inability to be tempted signifies His sovereignty and moral perfection, affirming that He will never lead His people into wrongdoing.
