Tempted for Us

Author: John E. McKinley
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1606088769
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 369

Book Description
This is an approach to Christ's impeccability and temptation through exploring and evaluating the theological models that have been developed from the early church to the present day. Drawing from tradition and the relevant biblical evidence, John McKinley argues that Jesus was truly tempted in ways that are closely relevant to the temptations common to us. Having been tempted for us in this way, Jesus can provide true help as the credible example to follow and truly sympathetic ally in the fight against sin. Key to understanding how Jesus remained unable to sin and sharply vulnerable to temptation is the role of the Holy Spirit.

Tempted and Tried

Author: Russell Moore
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433515970
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210

Book Description
Although temptation is a common and well-acknowledged part of the human experience, few realize the truth behind temptation and fewer still know how to defeat it. Tempted and Tried will not reassure Christians by claiming that temptation is less powerful or less prevalent than it is; instead, it will prepare believers for battle by telling the truth about the cosmic war that is raging. Moore shows that the temptation of every Christian is part of a broader conspiracy against God, a conspiracy that confronts everyone who shares the flesh of Jesus through human birth and especially confronts those who share the Spirit of Christ through the new birth of redemption. Moore walks readers through the Devil's ancient strategies for temptation revealed in Jesus' wilderness testing. Moore considers how those strategies might appear in a contemporary context and points readers to a way of escape. Tempted and Tried will remind Christians that temptation must be understood in terms of warfare, encouraging them with the truth that victory has already been secured through the triumph of Christ.

Pages : 190

Book Description
TEMPTATION OVERCOMERS Wouldn't life be wonderful if there were no temptations—no possibility of failure? This question is the author’s opening salvo. From there you are swept into the Garden where you overhear Adam and Eve casually chatting about daily living, told as only Elmer L. Towns can tell. The personal experiences and Bible stories he brings to life in Temptation Overcomers are not only captivating but thought, heart, and spirit-provoking. For example, he writes, "Look at temptation from a non-moral or non-spiritual perspective. A sign on the street corner says, “No right turn." But you do it anyway...there’s no oncoming traffic. You didn’t get a ticket or a warning from the police. Did you sin, or did you just find a convenient way to get where you were going? Was turning right wrong? We are all tempted in non-moral ways every day when dealing with manmade rules—sometimes there are consequences, and other times no one cares. But what about God’s moral laws?” Temptation Overcomers overflows with ways you can claim daily triumph with 4 chapters of wisdom, 14 principles for victory-living, 28 daily devotions, and 4 comprehensive lessons that cement not only your new-found strategies but provide ways to teach others as well.
