James: James 1:15 by ric gustafson
Sin leads us to defeat and then death. The root of temptation is a selfish desire. When desire conceives it gives birth to sin. And sin full grown leads to death. A desire is a strong urge. There is nothing wrong with desires. Desires can be productive. James talks about selfish desires. It starts in our mind and heart. When desire and deception mingle, sin is conceived.
Selfish desires can lead to a sinful decision. Our sinful desires can give birth to sin. The wages of sin is death.
We need to let Jesus deal with our temptation. Our desires need to change. We must put on a new nature. Our mind and heart is a battlefield. God will not let us be tempted beyond what we are able. God loves us more than anything else.
