Temptation itself is not sin; it is something we are bound to face simply by virtue of being human.

Not to be tempted would mean that we were already so shameful that we would be beneath contempt.

A person’s inner nature, what he possesses in the inner, spiritual part of his being, determines what he is tempted by on the outside. The temptation fits the true nature of the person being tempted and reveals the possibilities of his nature. Every person actually determines or sets the level of his own temptation, because temptation will come to him in accordance with the level of his controlling, inner nature.

God does not save us from temptations— He sustains us in the midst of them
