THE REASON WHY GOD ALLOWED JESUS TO BE TEMPTED (People’s Contribution)
The devil eventually succeeded in deceiving man to disobey God. They bowed to him by obeying him to eat of the fruit God knew will destroy them (Gen. 2:16,17) through this, satan’s nature entered into man and man become lost because God could no more find them in His own nature, and God will never allow none of satan’s nature to enter His kingdom.
As such, God has to send Jesus to save man from the eternal destruction satan’s nature placed man into.
It’s a matter of fight, it’s a matter of war. Satan has to be allowed to tempt Jesus that it may be an everlasting proof, a plain proof that he can never overcome Jesus. Jesus overcame the temptations and succeeded in overcoming the satan nature that placed man into eternal destruction. The satan (inner) nature is called SIN.
MAN CAUSES TEMPTATION, NOT GOD
When a person become lost inside satan’s nature, for example evil desires, that person will be building upon this desire which will lead that person into making wrong decision. It may led some into borrowing, debt. Along the line, it may lead to stealing, killing, kidnapping, adultery, a result of covetousness, or anger, grumbling, envying, reviling, unnecessary spending and eventually into prison and death. It is when the long result of this covetousness, anger, drunkenness, anxiety, evil desires had come that the affected person will now realize that the fault is from him and not God. Things like this also happen to some child of God. God never tempt anyone. James 1:13-15 says: “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempted he anyman: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
If the person should die in this situation that person will enter hell fire because the satan nature that controls that person to misbehave have not been removed. Unless you surrender your life to Jesus to remove this nature, you won’t make heaven. Some fervent Christians enter hell because of this satan’s nature.
Bow to Jesus to save you from this nature, He has the right grace in His hand, without Him, ye can do nothing. Do not procrastinate. (Jn 15:1-5)
Should you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, say: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, I am a sinner worthy of death, you died on the cross of calvary for my sins and I bow to you and give my life to you, Jesus. O Lord, have mercy upon me, forgive me all my sins, Let your name be glorified in Jesus name, Amen.
