THREE TYPES OF TEMPTATION
These are the three basic types of temptation. I call them the ABCs of temptation: Type A: The devil attacks the God-consciousness, or spirit. James 4:7, You must know your Bible to handle this kind of temptation. Psalm 119:11 Type B: The world attacks the ego. This temptation will probably be the most prominent. We live in a highly materialistic society, and we each succumb in different ways. John 2:15. “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” Type C: The flesh attacks the appetites of the body. Our culture surrounds us with sexual temptations. “Flee the evil desires of youth” (2 Timothy 2:22) “Flee from sexual immorality” (I Corinthians 6:18). Stay away from temptation as much as possible.
