Temptation (Heb. massâh, “test”, “difficulty”; Gr. peirasmós, “test”, “difficulty”, “temptation”, “incitement”). 1. The terms that have been translated in this way generally describe any situation that a person has to face and that implies a test of his character. In Deu 4:34, 7:19 and 29:3 massâh is translated as “trials” in the KJV, and is used to refer to a circumstance that can strengthen character. In Luk 4:13 the devil tempted Christ, or 1149 he tested him, with the intention of breaking his resolve to obey God. In the other references that we find in the NT, “temptation” has to do, in general, with any situations that could weaken a person’s fellowship with God, but that if resisted patiently could strengthen faith and character. This is why Christians could “count it for joy” when they fell into “various trials” (Jam 1:2; cf v 12), that is, when they encountered difficulties that tested the reality of their Christian experience. In Psa 95:8 the word massâh is Masah,* a proper name. 2. Place of the temptation of Jesus in the desert (Mat 4:1; Luk 4:1) and that of the mountain to whose top the devil took him (Mat 4:8); Still no ID.

action of inducing a person to do evil, instigation to sin. Also put to the test. Eve fell into temptation when she ate the forbidden fruit, Gn 3, 1-6. Jesus was tempted by Satan, Mt 4, 1-11; Lk 4, 1-13; Mk 1, 12s.

(test, test).
Temptation, trial, struggle, is the life of man on earth: (Job 7:1, Eph 6:11-12).
There are two kinds of tests: Tempting to do evil, and to do good: God can never tempt to do evil, that is done by Satan, who is the tempter of evil: (Jas 1:13, Mat 4:1-3 , 1Th 3:5). God does two things: He allows Satan to tempt, as in Job 1:6-12, Job 2:37. and God tests: (tempts) to do good, as he tested Abraham, asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac, leaving Abraham’s faith strengthened by the test: (Gen 22:1, Heb 11:17, 1Pe 1 :6). a third sure thing is that God will not allow you to be tempted against your strength, before he will arrange success with temptation so that you can resist it: (1Co 10:13).
Another important point is that if Satan is the author of the temptation, the temptation comes from the concupiscence of man, from greed, from pride or depression in prosperity or poverty, from worldly glory, from presumption: (Jas 1:14 , 1Ti 6:9, Pro 28:30, Pro 30:9, Matt 4:2-3). and, in addition, bad companies serve as a means to produce it: (Pro 1:10, Pro 16:29).
We will all have temptations, even the righteous, like Job, David, Peter, and Christ himself: (]ob.1:6-12, 2Sa 11:2, Mar 14:67-71, Mt.4). and each temptation, although painful, is to strengthen our faith, which is purified by fire: (1Pe 1:6-7)., and, although God has victory ready, man has to do several things to win.
– Resist in faith, Eph 6:16, 1Pe 5:9.
– Watch not to fall, Mat 26:41, 1Pe 5:8.
– Pray, Mat 6:13, Mat 20:41.
– Avoid the occasion, Pro 4:14-15.
– Avoid bad company, Prov.l.
10, Pro 16:29.
?Feel joyful in temptations: Read the beatitude of those who suffer and overcome it, Jas 1:2-4, Jas 1:12, Job 42:10-17, Luc 15:22-24).
The 3 Temptations_of Jesus: Luke 4 and Matthew 4 describe how “Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil for 40 days.” Mark also mentions it in 1:13.
You and I will also be tempted by the devil, and for a time! For 40 days? in our “desert”, as if God had left us hand in hand. and it will be like Jesus, precisely when we begin to “pray”, to undertake to do something good. The devil does not need to tempt the bad guys, he already has them in chains!
He is going to tempt us in the same three ways that he tempted Jesus, with “pleasure”, “power” and “fame”, inciting our selfishness and pride, and leading us to “disobedience to God”, which is how he won. to Eve.
We will overcome it with Jesus in our hearts, and with the “Word of God” on our lips: Jesus used “it is written” all three times; and all three times he used the book of Deuteronomy, the book of “obedience to God”, which it seems Jesus knew very well. : First Temptation: Turn these stones into bread, because Jesus was hungry. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God: (Deu 8:3).
It will also tempt you and me using our natural needs for maintenance, development and rest, with “pleasures” of food, drink, sex, comfort, laziness, leisure.
Second Temptation: I will give you all the power and glory of the kingdoms of the world if you worship me. Jesus replied: A1 Lord, your God, you will worship, and Him only you will serve: (Deu 6:13).
It will also tempt you and me with the “power” of riches, of money, of social position, of honor. she will even offer us power as much as God!, or knowledge as much as God!, like Eve. and as she does to many spiritualists, santeros, sorcerers, astrologers. Even if it’s a lie! Because Satan knows very well that he can never give it.
Third Temptation: Here the devil also used the Bible, which he knows by heart, Sal 91:12: He climbed Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him: Throw yourself down, and nothing will happen to you, because it is written “ his angels will hold you in their hands.” Jesus replied: Away, Satan, for it is written “You shall not tempt the Lord your God”: (Deu 6:16).
You and I will also be tempted by “fame”, the immediate and spectacular success of the preacher, the healer of the sick, the singer, the politician. Or even with success in your little bargain, or profession, or job! and it will blind us, making us see that everything is good, even injustice, and hate, or crime, or dancing, or gambling. in order to get the power, fame or pleasure that we think we “deserve” in life.
Jesus defeated Satan: In his public, private life, on the cross. and always by his “obedience to him.” The Virgin Mary and the Christians defeated and continue to defeat Satan: See “Devil”.

The biblical sense of this word is related to the idea of putting something to the test. The Hebrew word massa or massah is translated as “proof” in Deu 4:34; Deu 7:19 and 29:3 (“Or has God tried to come and take for himself a nation from the midst of another nation, with trials, with signs…†). It is a situation in which the concepts of physical and emotional pressures leading to demonstrate the quality of something are combined. The word massa comes from a root that speaks of melting a metal. A place in the desert was named “Masah” because there the children of Israel “tested the Lord, saying, Is the Lord then among us, or not?” (Exo 17:7). That is why the prohibition was later made: “You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him at Masah” (Deu 6:16). We read in Ps 78:18: † œFor they tempted God in his heart, asking for food according to his taste †. The emphasis of the word, then, is on testing a person to prove something, such as “the queen of Sheba” who visited Solomon to “test him with hard questions.” (1Ki 10:1).
Another word that is used is nasa, which means to test, test, test a metal. God himself tests his children, as was the case with Abraham, whom God tested when he asked him to sacrifice Isaac (Gen 22:1). A false prophet can actually be a test for the listeners’ faith (“…you will not listen to the words of such a prophet…because the LORD your God is testing you…”). When God tests a person, he does so for the holy purpose of refining his character († œ… so that I may test him whether he walks in my law, or not †). The Canaanite nations themselves served “to try Israel with them, whether or not they sought to follow the way of the Lord” (Judges 2:22).
in the NT, the equivalent word is peirasmos, translated as t., and peirazo as the verb to tempt or test. God cannot be tested by anyone (Jas 1:13), but human beings can. That is why the Lord Jesus, as a man, was subjected to t. The same Holy Spirit led him into the desert for that purpose (Mat 4:1-11). This fact shows that the t. The purpose of the Lord was, on God’s side, to test his human qualities. On the part of Satan, called the tempter, however, the purpose was to seduce to lead to sin and destroy the work of God. That negative sense of the t. sometimes it is the one that is used most when the subject is discussed, but it is not the basic idea of the Scriptures.
Without a doubt, it is natural that we wish not to be tested, which is why the Lord Jesus taught us to pray saying: “And bring us not into you, but deliver us from evil” (Mat 6:13). But one thing is when we are tested by God to refine our character and another when the world, Satan or our own flesh (or many times all combined into one) try to seduce us into evil. The offers of the world, or of Satan, however, would have no effect if lust were not within us († œ… each one is tempted, when he is drawn away and seduced by his own lust †). Fortunately, †œthe Lord knows how to deliver from you. to the godly…† (2Pe 2:9). And when a person † œendures temptation †, he obtains a blessedness (Jas 1:12).

see, heb. “massah”, gr. “peirasmos”). Three different characters of temptation are presented in the Scriptures: (a) “God tempted Abraham” when he commanded him to offer him Isaac (Gen. 22:1). With it, he put his faith to the test. The 1960 and 1977 revisions of the Reina-Valera translate “tested” and “put to the test,” respectively. Paul speaks of his thorn in the flesh as his “temptation” (“trial” in the aforementioned revisions). (b) The Israelites tempted God. “They tempted…
