The Bible states that wine and strong drink is not to be drank by anybody and those that drink it trespasses against the commands of God. It is a SIN to drink wine or strong drink. Jesus never drank wine or strong drink, and we should follow in his steps.

TEMPTATION
What Is Temptation
Webster says: to attempt to persuade (a person) to do something evil or unwise, inducement to do evil, to entice.
Bible says: James 1:14 But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed.
Temptation is an inducement to evil, often set in the attractive promise of a forbidden pathway. Our conscience may alarm us but not stop us. God has given us freedom of choice. It would not be for our own good to be exempt from temptation in life, for life is. So ordered that strength comes from overcoming temptation.
Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13 Satan tempts here buy trying to bring doubt.
In Genesis 3:1-7, Eve is being tempted by Satan when she is drawn away by her own lust. God had forbidden them to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Genesis 2:17. Satan tempted Eve by lying to her in verse 4 and putting doubt in her mind. Exodus 32:1-8, 15-29
We find in Exodus chapters 14 to 17 that God had delivered, the Israelites out of Egypt and cared for them and destroy their enemies. He blessed them and delivered them. Then in chapter 32 the Israelites were drawn away from God by their own lust They were tempted by Satan only after they were drawn away by their own lust and wanted a god that they could see and touch.

Who Is the Tempter
In Matthew chapter 4, we can see that the Devil is the tempter. In Mark 1:13, Satan is the one who tempted Jesus. Although Satan is not named in I Thessalonians 3:5, as the Tempter we can see he is because of James 1:13, where God says He does not tempt anyone, so the serpent called the Devil and Satan is a deceiver. Satan tempts us by deceiving us as with Eve in the garden (Genesis 3:4) when he lied.

Who Is Tempted
You may ask yourself who does Satan tempt, the saved or the lost? Satan does not tempt the lost, they are his, (John 8:44). Satan does not need to tempt his own, he has them where he wants them.
So, Satan tempts the saved. The reason Satan tempts the saved is to ruin their witness and testimony.

How Are You Tempted
We are tempted when we let our guard down by letting ourselves to pe drawn away from God by our own lust. In I Timothy 6:9, the key word in this verse is (WILL). They that WILL be rich, fall into temptation and a snare. We in some manner wish to be rich and in doing so we fall into devices of Satan. Satan will tempt us in thinking in following him, he will make us rich, but in truth he only makes you fall into his snare. Satan will let something that seems beautiful and pleasant to the eye but does not show the end result. A sample of this is smoking, drinking or drugs. Satan shows a beautiful girl or macho man smoking, drinking or taking drugs, but does not show them with disease, bad health, cancer or loss of a good mind. Satan never shows the end results of SIN and TEMPTATION. (James 1:15)

How To Overcome Temptation
When we awake in the morning and pray for that day needs and protection, God will hear and honor our prayers. We should also ask God to lead us not into temptation. We are to watch that we enter not into temptation because our flesh is weak, and we need God’s help. Many times, our Spirit is 34
willing, but we find our flesh is weak. Satan knows our weaknesses, so he hits us where we are weak.
God does not let Satan tempt us beyond what we can bear. When tempted we need to go to God for help. We can find help in His Word (BIBLE), Christian Friend, or a Pastor. Jesus is always able to succor us (aid, relieve, help) when we are tempted.

THE JUDGMENTS
The Scriptures present judgment as God’s strange work, but while this is true, it is also His sure work. Judgment is made certain by God’s Divine appointment. The nature of God justice demands judgment, Judgment is not to be identified with death. Death presupposes a judgment which has already taken place.
There are those who believe in a general judgment for all, at the end of the world. There is no Scripture that show or proves this. The Scripture show plainly that there are various groups to be judged and that various circumstance and conditions characterize theses Judgments. There is the Judgment of the Cross, Self-Judgment of the Believer, Judgment of the Believer Works, Judgment of Israel Judgment of the Living Nations, Judgment of Fallen Angels, and the Great White Throne Judgment, Each Judgment takes place at a different time.
