Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. Temptations come from our own inward evil nature. This evil nature gives birth to sin. Temptations come through failing to have a proper inward response to what Satan is doing to us.
Temptations come from Satan and our own evil nature within.
Sin results when we fail to respond correctly to God through obedience to his word. Sin results in heartache. Blame strives to recognize someone other than ourselves as the source of our problems. Blame seeks to relieve us from the responsibility of personally responding to God's word. The nature of temptation is deceptive.
