Partakers Bible Thought 18 August 2021 – The Christian Resists And Flees Temptation

Partakers Bible Thought 18 August 2021

12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:12-13)

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. (1 John 2:15-17)

4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. (1 John 4:4-5)

Temptation! As Christians, we face constant temptation to disobey God and sin against Him, other people and ourselves. We looked at the challenge of sin recently. However temptations are common experiences for all Christians. God allows temptations, but He will never let you be tempted beyond what He knows you can handle – that’s His promise. And even more, He always provides a means of escape from temptation! When you are tempted to disobey God, either in action or inaction, you are not to touch it – just like you wouldn’t try to stop a chainsaw with your hands!

How can we resist temptation and flee its grasp? Is temptation itself, a sin? How does God help us to resist those temptations that challenge us to be disobedient to God? Listen or download the mp3 podcast to find out more of the Christian being a Steward!
