Interpretation of the Bible / James 1:13
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.
When we talk about temptation, we are talking about that feeling or desire to do something that we know is neither right nor wrong. It is a kind of internal conflict between our desire to do what is right and the temporary satisfaction that doing what is wrong may offer.
In James 1:13 we are reminded that God is not responsible for our temptations. He cannot be tempted, and He does not tempt anyone to do anything wrong. Temptation comes from the enemy of our souls and from our own fleshly desires.
