In James 1:9-18 James discusses the subject of temptation. Everyone in life is tempted to do things that the Word of God says they shouldn't do.  James is endeavoring to help believers of all ages to overcome.  In the midst of this letter he gives his wisdom and understanding in the situations we all face. He encourages us that having a loving relationship with God through Christ based on the promise of eternal life will give motivation to overcome. He warns us of the origin of our temptation. We can't blame the devil or God.  He wants us to understand the danger involved when we allow those inward desires to conceive and birth something. He ends his discussion on how good God is, the giver of every good and perfect gift.  This message is for all believers because we all struggle.
