Dealing with Temptation

Key Points

1. At the heart of our obedience is God's love for us and our love for Him.
2. Everyone will be tempted in this life, and everyone will fail.
3. When we fail, God has provided a means of forgiveness through Christ. Our relationship with God is not severed, but our fellowship may be. Confession restores our fellowship.

Introduction

Chapter 4 of Life Foundations, “Dealing with Temptations,” shows us how our obedience is a heart response to God’s amazing love for us and our love for Him.

Everyone will be tempted in this life, and everyone will fail. But when we fail, God has provided a means of forgiveness through Christ. Our relationship with God is not severed, but our fellowship – or closeness to Him – may be. Confession restores our fellowship.
