Q: Why do we have temptations? A: We face a lot of temptations today because there are three things that work against us, the world, our own sinful nature and Satan. Satan wants to undermine our faith by using different deceptive schemes to entice us to fall and sin, sowing within us the seeds of doubt, unbelief and rebellion. Two of his powerful temptations were those of Adam and Eve in the Garden, in which he achieved his purpose, and of Jesus in the wilderness, which he failed. We see his favorite tool is to tamper with the Word of God. The Bible calls Christians to stand firm in the faith and to watch out for temptations. He God promises to help us resist temptation, and has given us everything we need to live victorious. 2 Peter 1:3-4 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
