" John Owen brings helpful detail to our discussion about sin and temptation. According to Owen, temptation is “any thing, state, way, or condition that, upon any account whatsoever, has a force or efficacy to seduce, to draw the mind and heart of a man from its obedience, which God requires of him, into any sin, in any degree of it whatsoever.”20 Note that any temptation can lead a person into any sin. It is a force. And forces must be reckoned with, not passively accepted. "
