The Nature of Our Soul and the Temptation it Faces

Temptation in and of itself is not sin. Temptation entices that which we already possess in our soul. The soul already perceives this as something good and the temptation is a means to get there quicker. The way is illegitimate and that is the reason it becomes sinful. No temptation has come upon man that the inner-man or soul can not raiser higher than to identify and resist.
