TRIALS VS TEMPTATIONS

5 major differences between trials and temptations are:

  1. Trials are from God whereas temptations are from evil;
  2. Trials are good for the spirit through our own emotion (but very, very bad for our body) whereas temptations are good for the body through our own desire (but not good for our spirit);
  3. Trials strengthen our faith in Jesus whereas temptations weaken it;
  4. Trials require love and mercy as temptations require hatred and greed;
  5. Trials bring hope as temptations bring uncertainty.
Now, it’s all up to us either we want to become insurgent or obedient to our Lord. We 'll become insurgent person when we accept the temptation and feel happy on it. On the contrary, we will become obedient when we accept the trial and rejoice it! Which one are we?

Note: 1 Corinthians 10:13 and James 1:13 are about temptations.
