| It is not a sin to be tempted. Author: Rick Warren |
| Every time you defeat a temptation, you become more like Jesus! Author: Rick Warren |

| Jesus was not tempted to see if He would fall. He was tempted to show that He could not fall. Author: J. Vernon McGee |
| The flesh inclines us more to believe a temptation than a promise. Author: Thomas Watson |
| Satan doth sow most of his seed of temptation in hearts that lie fallow. When he sees persons unemployed, he will find work for them to do. Author: Thomas Watson |
| Satan doth not tempt God's children because they have sin in them, but because they have grace in them. Had they no grace, the devil would not disturb them... Though to be tempted is a trouble, yet to think why you are tempted is a comfort. Author: Thomas Watson

| The devil tempts, that he may deceive; but God suffers us to be tempted, to try us. Temptation is a trial of our sincerity. Author: Thomas Watson

| There is a great deal of difference between falling into a temptation, and running into a temptation. The falling into a temptation shall work for good, not the running into it. He that falls into a river is capable of help and pity, but he that desperately turns into it is guilty of his own death. Author: Thomas Watson
