Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. James 1:13 ESV
Satan hates you.
God loves you.
Satan tempts you.
God fulfills you.
Satan wants you to commit adultery and fornication.
God wants you to get married and be intoxicated by your husband or your wife.
Notice the differences.
God never arouses desires and leaves them unfulfilled. God always meets every good need and desire Himself as your Creator, or He will send you a creature to meet your human need, if you have one.
Satan arouses desires like unquenchable fires, then he teases and tempts until you feel like you're going to explode. After you explode, you feel unfulfilled longing like a gaping hole in your chest. If you were angry, Satan leaves angrier. If you lust, Satan leaves you with more lust.
God brings justice to anger, or forgiveness where there is no earthly justice.
God brings a husband or wife to love and hold and make love to, or fills you with a spiritual purpose that consumes your mind and emotions until He brings you a husband or wife.
God never tempts you.
Satan is temptation.
