God Does Not Tempt Anyone to Sin
God may test faith for the believer’s growth, but He is sinless, cannot be tempted by evil, and never entices anyone to commit sin. Sinful temptation arises when a person is drawn away by his or her own disordered desires, which conceive sin and ultimately bring forth death.
