Tentação

Por Bíblia Online –

A tentação faz parte da jornada cristã, mas Deus é fiel e não permite que sejamos tentados além do que podemos suportar. Em Cristo, temos poder para resistir e vencer.

A realidade da tentação

Jesus foi tentado em tudo como nós e compreende nossas lutas. A Bíblia nos ensina que a tentação não é pecado — o pecado está em ceder a ela.

15 For we have not a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.

2 He ate nothing during these days, and at the close of them he was hungry.

13 When he is being tempted, let no one say, "It is God who tempts me," for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man.

3 because you know that the testing of your faith is working out endurance.

O escape providenciado

Deus sempre providencia uma saída. Não precisamos cair, pois Ele nos dá forças para resistir e promete nos livrar da provação.

13 No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond mans power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.

9 then be sure that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the wicked (who are even now enduring punishment) for the "Day of Judgment";

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One; For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Amen.

Vigilância e resistência

A Palavra de Deus, a oração e a vigilância são nossas armas contra a tentação. Vigiar e orar é o conselho do próprio Jesus.

41 "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

22 "And the seed sown among thorns is he who hears the word, but the anxieties of the age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20 "What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him.21 From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes -22 fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly -23 all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."

1 Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.

12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
