God's Promises When We Are Tempted

By: Robert A. Searles

"But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath beheld his steps,  his way have I kept, and not declined." Job 23: 10, 11

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to men: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able: but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Cor 10: 13

"For verily, he (Jesus) took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the  seed of Abraham. wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation to God, to make reconciliation for the  sins of the people. For in  that he is able to succour them that are tempted." Heb 2:16-18

"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities: but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that ye may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Heb 4: 15, 16

"My brethren, count it all  joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But  let patience have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.". James 1: 2-4

"Let no man say  when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted   with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own  lust and enticed." James 1: 13-14

"Be sober, be vigilant;  because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in  your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be the glory and dominion forever, Amen" 1Peter 5: 8-11
