Lead Us Not Into Temptation, but Deliver Us from the Evil One
Nov 8, 2026 • Jac Munson
The Greek word used for trial translates into the English words trial, test, and temptation. As Jesus teaches us to pray against being led into temptation, does that mean that God causes us to fall into temptation and sin? James 1 clearly debunks that possibility. Jac Munson uses this passage to discern the difference between a test and a temptation, giving the simple idea that tests are given by God to reveal faith, but temptations are used by the evil one to reveal weakness.
