TRIALS & TEMPTATIONS
Temptations are also inevitable but temptation in itself is not a sin. The actions we take when tempted determines if we have sinned or not.
It is interesting to analyze the words James uses; dragged, enticed, conceived, full grown and birth to death. There is a process which leads to death if we are not careful when dealing with our own evil desires.
There is good news!
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. (1 Cor 10.13)
First of all God will not let us go through something beyond what we can bear. Praise God! Secondly God will always provide a way out. Our job is to be obedience to His leading and instructions.

About this Plan
For James, Christians (that is, followers of his half-brother) should reflect the character of their God. And what we find in this letter is not works and more works as sometimes thought to be. On the contrary it is a letter infused by God’s character, with the intention of making God-shaped people living in the world.
