James 4:6-8
God resist the proud, and gives to the humble.
Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Just before this James explains how if we are friends of the world we are enemies to God, likewise, if we resist the devil we submit to God. The devil may tempt us, but with the strength that we are given by the grace of God we can overcome him. Just as satan had quoted scripture out of context to Jesus, in hopes to divert his praise from God the father to himself, he will continuously use our past, seemingly out of context, to get us to stumble. Satan is consistently trying to take praise from God through our transgressions, but he only succeeds because he will not show us why we turned from our sin, only why we once sinned. Because it was fun. By only telling us the fun that we once had, constantly diverting our attention away from the pain that was a result to that sin. Similarly, in the garden of eden satan caused Eve to think that God was restricting her from certain things, rather than protecting her.
There is always a way out with God, there is always opportunity for success. Let not the devil tempt you, allow God to test you. By overcoming your temptations, we resist the devil, and in turn, give praise to God. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you, has there ever been so beautiful a picture as this, a Father drawing close to His beloved children.
