There is no sin in being tempted

Back to Spurgeon GEMS volume 2


Some beginners in the Christian life, think that they cannot be tempted without sinning—but they are mistaken. There is no sin in being tempted—but there is sin in yielding to temptation. 

Our place of safety is the bosom of the Saviour! Perhaps we are tempted just now—this should cause us to flee to Jesus for help.

Blessed be any windthat blows us into the port of our Saviour's love! Happy wounds, which make us seek the beloved Physician.

You tempted ones, come to your loving Saviour, for He can be touched with a feeling of your infirmities, and will support every tried and tempted one.
