Temptation becomes sin when you give into it.
Some people think that temptation itself is sin, but that is not true. Jesus was tempted for forty days in the wilderness, and he was perfect - the only person to ever fulfil the law in every part. Therefore, he could not have sinned, which means temptation is not sin. Doing what you are tempted to do is sin.

How would you use temptation?
As a Presbyterian Minister, I would probably use it as a sermon illustration! But, more seriously, I would use the universiality of temptation as a warning for people to keep up their Christian strength by constant Bible reading and meditation; constant prayer; and constant vigilance. I would also use the old hymn, "Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin" to remind them that encountering temptation is not a sin; giving in to it is. I all of the above, of course, I am assuming that we are talking about temptation to sin, as opposed to benign temptation.

Is tempting someone a sin?
That would depend on what the temptation was for and its purpose. For example, if the temptation were for a harmless purpose, and perhaps even for something that would be helpful to the person, then it would not constitute a sin. For example, if a friend needed to take a remedial math class during the summer prior to the start of the regular fall classes, then to tempt him or her to take the class would not be a sin, but a benefit to the person. On the other hand, if the temptation were for something that would be harmful to the person, then it would be a sin. For example, if the person desperately needed to lose weight, and he or she were tempted to eat a gallon of ice cream, that would be a sin.
