Temptation, as James 1:13-18 points out, springs from our own desires, not outside influences. So, battling it means understanding where it comes from and seeking guidance. It's about staying alert, disciplined, and leaning on spiritual support. The stakes are high; giving in risks spiritual death and losing connection with what's sacred. But resisting leads to salvation and eternal life.

Scripture: James 1:13-18
