When we face trials and temptations, we often slip into viewing our sin as the unavoidable result of the difficult life we have been assigned. We blame God and excuse our sin as the inevitable result of our circumstances. In this passage, James reminds us that sin is not inevitable, excusable, or innocuous. If we want to remain steadfast and receive the crown of righteousness, we must take temptation seriously, remembering that the sin that tempts us is resistible, evil, and active.

Great Sermon! This was a great summary of the difference between trials and temptations, and a pointed reminder that we blame God for our sin and temptation much more than we realize. That our sin is resistible, evil and active. He takes us from a sober look at the sinister nature of sin and temptation to the one who has promised to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness if we confess it.
