Why Temptations Are Necessary

In MATTHEW 18:7 Jesus says: “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!” (Matthew 18:7).

What does Jesus mean by His statement that it is “necessary for temptations to come?”

According to Matthew 18:7, temptations are necessary because of the sinful state of the world, not because God causes them. Jesus states that it is "necessary that temptations come," meaning they are an inevitable part of living in a fallen world where people's actions and institutions can lead others into sin. The passage warns that while temptations are unavoidable, individuals are still accountable for their actions and are condemned if they are the cause of temptation for others.
