 There are many temptations from within us and without that would draw us away from the truth and security of the word of God. Resist them. These temptations are from the devil. Our sinful hearts tempt us to reject God's word. Opposition from the world around tempts us to deny it or at least to keep quiet about it. But Jesus calls us to resist these temptations. And he promises that in the end, we will be vindicated.
