A Look at Temptation

"The truly religious life 
 
does not consist in not being tempted, 
but in resisting temptation. 

Temptation is not sin, 
but the yielding to it is. 

Christ was tempted, 
but He did not sin. 

It is from within, not from without, that sin comes. 
It is utterly impossible for any person to be on this earth in the in the possession of his senses, and be free from temptation." E.J. Waggoner
 
 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, 
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 
And that ye put on the new man, 
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.  
Ephesians 4:22-24
