Deep dives

Understanding the distinction between desire and temptation

Desire and temptation need to be differentiated in understanding sin. The Bible mentions that the origin of sin comes from within, where one's own desires can lead to temptation. External temptations, on the other hand, do not inherently stem from one's own sinful nature. It is important to recognize and respond differently to desires that lead to sinful thoughts or actions versus external temptations that can be resisted without giving in to sinful desires.
