What is the difference between trial and temptation?

A trial is a situation in which our faith is tested. In the face of life's problems and difficulties, we are faced with a choice: continue to believe in Jesus and obey him, despite everything, or abandon our faith in Him. This choice is not always easy, but when we choose Jesus, we win. While temptation is the call of evil. We can be tempted by our own sinful nature, by the sin that is all around us in the world, or by the devil. Temptation seeks to create a desire to sin (James 1:14-15). The desire later leads to the act, if we are not alert and resist. In this situation we also have a choice: succumb to temptation or resist and remain faithful to God.
