Numbers 23:19 – “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
2 Corinthians 1:20 – For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
Pass the Test: James 1:12-16
Peirasmos – test, prove, trial, temptation
- tests/trials – anything that tests our faithfulness to God.
- temptation – anything that threatens to draw you away from God.
Love
- How God showed His love toward us: John 3:16
- How Jesus showed His love toward us: 1 John 3:16
- How we should show our love toward God: John 14:15
Temptation (e.g. Genesis 2:16-17, 3:1-6):
- 1 John 2:16
- Lust of the Flesh – craving or desire of a sinful man, giving our natural need superiority over our spiritual needs.
- Lust of the Eye – cravings are often activated by what we see.
- Pride of Life – wanting things for the purpose of being able to boast about ourselves. (Ephesians 4:29-32)
Homework: 1) What did Jesus do the past the test: read Matthew 4:1-11, and 2) Look at God’s promise to you: 1 Corinthians 10:13
