Is being tempted to sin the same as sinning? - Temptation - TouchPoints

Hebrews 4:15For [Jesus] faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.

Matthew 4:1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil.

Jesus was severely tempted, yet he never gave in to it. Since Jesus was tempted and remained sinless, being tempted is not the same as sinning. You don’t have to feel guilty about the temptations you wrestle with. Rather, you can devote yourself to resisting them. In his own battle with Satan, Jesus demonstrates how to prevent temptation from becoming sin.
