The Bible teaches that temptation is a reality that all of us face, and it can come in many different forms. However, it is not the temptation itself that is the problem, but rather how we respond to it. God sends trials in our life as a way to grow our faith and teach us to trust him, and if we respond in faith, we will grow and become stronger. On the other hand, Satan's purpose in temptation is to turn trials into allurements to sin, and if we do not choose to trust God, it will become a temptation to sin. The key to overcoming temptation is to understand that it is a test, and to respond to it with faith and trust in God.
