Love Quote by Rob Eagar
““No matter how you are tempted, sin can never offer anything superior to the unconditional love and acceptance that you already have in Christ. Therefore, by comparison alone, temptation is worthless. Sin can be very subtle, however, so Jesus advises you to let go of your discipline and appropriate His strength in dealing with fleshly enticements. He wants to help you discern the lies that sin presents and remind you of His passionate love.””

![“For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging…” quote by Joyce Meyer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e8c/joyce-meyer-123_god-is-faithful_for-no-temptation-no-trial-regarded-as-e_1453169.jpg)
