Spiritual reflection of the Bible: Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God". James 1:13

The path of error leads to nothing good. The apostle James asks us in his letter not to follow this path, which may at first seem easy but in the end burdens us with problems that we cannot solve: "Do not err, my beloved brethren", James 1:16.
Jesus explains to us that the path of error is a path of appearances:
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.", Matthew 7:13-14.

Practicing sin ("If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them", James 4:17) is a form of err, and the apostle James explains to us, in a beautiful spiritual reflection, how sin is conceived, sin never comes from God but comes from the heart of man according to the Bible:
"Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God". For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death". James 1:13-15.
The origin of sin is concupiscence, that is to say, the disorderly desires directed towards apparent goods; God cannot be tempted nor does he tempt anyone, because in God there is no concupiscence, God is the wisdom itself.
Because of our psychological imperfections, we are all subject to temptation, but true beatitude lies in enduring and not falling, that is, not giving our heart to error: "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him". James 1:12.
