这段讲道探讨了诱惑的本质，指出诱惑并非仅仅局限于肉体上的罪，还包括骄傲、绝望、不诚实等。任何事物，无论好坏，一旦成为人的主人，就变成了坏事。理解诱惑，必须先认识到魔鬼的存在及其影响，并避免对魔鬼的迷信或轻视两种极端。撒旦通过谎言进行诱惑，而抵制诱惑的关键在于坚持真理和认识到现实。战胜诱惑需要认识到自身内心和外在力量的欺骗性，并认清“罪能使你满足”这一核心谎言。诱惑往往从小罪开始，逐渐发展成大罪，因此要警惕那些看似微小的罪恶，并认识到其背后的谎言和欺骗。诱惑通常在几个特定时期出现：改信后的沮丧期、承担更大责任时、遭遇苦难时。

Shownotes Transcript

When we think of temptation, we tend to almost immediately think of physical kinds of sins. But there are a lot of other temptations. There’s temptation to pride, to despair, to dishonesty.

Anything, whether it’s good or not, can become addicting—it becomes your master. That’s what temptation is about. Temptation is about something which may be good or may be bad, but it becomes your master, and therefore, it’s bad.

Let’s look at 1) temptation and the devil, 2) the way of attack, and 3) the way of defense.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 22, 1990. Series: Fruit of the Spirit. Scripture: Genesis 3:1-7; 39:6-12.
