Let nobody say when he is enticed, "I am being enticed by God"; for God can't be enticed by wickedness, and He Himself does not entice anybody. Be that as it may, every one is enticed when he is diverted and lured by his own particular desire. — James 1:13-14, NAS
There is a distinction between a trial and an allurement, albeit both originate from a similar Greek word—peirasmos. They are regularly utilized reciprocally, however. All things considered, enticement is a trial (of confidence), and each trial is an allurement (to protest). At the point when the word shows up in the New Testament the setting encourages us to see which elucidation is implied. There are in this way contrasts and likenesses amongst trials and allurements. In spite of the fact that we should not push the qualifications too far, here are cases of the distinctions:
In their definitive beginning. Enticements originate from the tissue; trials are sent from God. He enabled Satan to test (Job 1:6-12). In this manner when we talk about "trial" we see God's fingerprints; when we see allurement, we see our own—or the devil's.
In their quick cause. Enticement originates from inside; trials for the most part originate from outside us. Occupation endured physically, yet deep down—in any event at first—there was no clear battle.
In their ethical pertinence. Enticement, when it is sexual in nature, has significant good importance, however a trial might be what I would need to call ethically nonpartisan, for example, disease or losing one's keys.
With reference to what is tried. Allurement will more often than not assault a frail spot; trials test our quality and additionally uncovering a shortcoming we may have been unconscious of—as with Job, who ended up being so grandiose.
Any trial that God sends—demise of a friend or family member or companion, budgetary turn around, misfortune, ailment, misconception, losing your keys, disappointment, dissatisfaction, selling out, mishandle, joblessness, discouragement, mishap, depression, missing a prepare or plane, dismissal, not getting that vital welcome, or any physical torment—ought to be viewed as having our Lord's imprints all finished them.
