Teaching Outline: It wasn’t always this way. Once the first humans walked with God and did not desire sin they way we do today. But now our very nature is against God. Our flesh want to sin, and we do not need any external pressure or demonic influence to make us do it.

of the WORLD, or the SEDUCTION
of the DEVIL.

3. 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the
wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the
woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat
from any tree in the garden'?"
2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat
fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but
God did say, 'You mustmiddle offruit

4 "You will not certainly die," the serpent said
to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you
eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you
will be like God, knowing good & evil."

tree was good for food and pleasing to the
eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom,
ate it. She also gave

"Very truly I tell you,
everyone who sins is
a slave to sin... 36 So
if the Son sets you free,
you will be free indeed.
~Jesus (John 8:34,36)
Temptation 2 The PROBLEM of the
SINFUL NATURE 15
17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but
it is sin living in me. 18 I know that good
itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful
nature. For I have the desireI to do whatthegood,
is
good
but I cannot carry it out. 19 For do not do
I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I
keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to
do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin
living in me that does it.

The PROBLEM of the
SINFUL NATURE 16

5. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to
do good, evil is right there with me. 22 see For
in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I
another law at work in me, waging war against the
law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of
sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am!
Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus
So then, I myself in my
Christ our Lord!
mind am a slave to God's law, but in my
sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

OVERCOMING the

the FLESH 20

6. 31 What, then, shall we say in response
to these things? If God is for us, who
can be against us? 32 He who did not
spare his own Son, but gave him up for
with
us all—how will he not also, along ? 33
him, graciously give us all things
Who will bring any charge against those
whom God has chosen? It is God who
justifies. 34 Who then can condemn? No
one. Christ Jesus who died—more
than that, who was raised to life—is
at the right hand of God and is also
interceding for us.

No temptation has overtaken you

beyond what you can bear. But
when you are tempted, he will
also provide a way out so that
you can endure it.
