Sermon from January 11


Temptations and True Religion

James 1: 13 - 27

1. God desires that we become more like Christ. He doesn’t promote anything outside of that.
2. A temptation is a desire to do something that misses the mark of God’s perfection. Sin always leads to death. Romans 6:23
3. God leads us to light and life, temptations lead us to sin and death.
4. Angry behavior, moral filth, and evil are given as examples of sin. God desires self-control.
5. Hearing God’s Word does us no good if we do not put it into practice. We should also study it carefully. Matthew 7:24
6. True faith and religion always lead to action
