Temptation is the Test of Trust
Temptation is a test of a person's ability to choose good instead of
evil. It is an enticement to sin and follow Satan instead of God. Part
of the experience of this life is to learn to overcome temptation and
to choose right over wrong. Modern revelation indicates that Satan
does not have power to tempt little children until they begin to be
accountable for their actions.
Since the Fall of Adam and Eve, people have had an inclination to
follow earthly desires and to succumb to appetites and passions. This
life was given as a time in which God's children could learn to use
their agency to overcome temptation and to choose of their own free
will to follow Jesus Christ.
The last days in which we live are especially "perilous times". The
influence of the adversary is widespread and seductive. Satan tries to
deceive and to make sin seem appealing. But each individual can
defeat Satan and overcome temptation. Each individual has the gift
of agency—the power to choose good over evil. Those who humble
themselves before God and pray continually for strength will not be
"tempted above that which [they] can bear". As they willingly obey
the commandments, Heavenly Father strengthens them to withstand
temptation.
