The Bible says a lot about our desires. Here are some examples…
- They can be good (Psalm 37:4)
- They can be deceitful (Ephesians 4:22)
- They can be foolish (1 Timothy 6:9)
- They can be harmful (1 Timothy 6:9)
- Believers have influence over what they desire (Psalm 37:4, 1 Corinthians 12:31)
When it comes to temptation, nowhere in scripture is there an indication that temptation is a sin. On the contrary, even Christ was tempted, but never sinned (Hebrews 4:15).
