Is temptation a sin?

No. Temptation itself is not a sin. Following up on the temptation, or continually seeking the temptation is a sin. Through scripture, we know that Jesus Christ was without sin (1John 3:5 as one example), however the Bible also states that Jesus was a victim of temptation (Matthew 4:1-11). Since the bible states that Jesus was without sin, however he WAS tempted leads us to the conclusion that temptation itself is NOT a sin. James 1:14-15 states: "Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." .Answer Being tempted is not a sin because the enemy is tempting you Your not tempting your self But falling into temptation and being caught in it is a sin Jesus was tempted but he did not fall in it so he dident sin But we sinners get caught sometimes Jesus is no sinner He is God He does not sin
