How Are We Tempted

Summary

The sermon explores the spiritual warfare faced by born-again Christians, emphasizing the struggle against loving the world and its temptations. The speaker highlights the threefold pressure of lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life as forces that conform believers to the world rather than to God. Using biblical examples, including the temptations of Christ and Israel's wilderness experience, the message calls for reliance on God's mercy, forgiveness, and strength to overcome these temptations and live a transformed life dedicated to God. The sermon stresses the importance of active faith, sacrifice, and resisting worldly pleasures and covetousness.
