What does the Bible say about temptation?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that there is no temptation that has overtaken you that is not common to man, and God provides a way to escape each one.

According to 1 Corinthians 10:13, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that temptations are common to all humanity, meaning that everyone faces similar struggles. Importantly, God is faithful; He does not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. This means that in every situation of trial or temptation, He also provides an escape route so that we can endure it without falling into sin. It's essential for believers to understand that temptations are a part of life, but God's sovereignty ensures they are always manageable, with avenues for resistance made available to us.
