A Way of Escape

​

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.              1 Corinthians 10:13

​

The moment you made your decision for Christ, Satan suffered a tremendous defeat.  He is angry now.  From now on he is going to tempt you and try to lead you into sin.  He’ll try to discourage you; to divert you; to dilute your testimony; to destroy your relationship to Christ and your influence upon others. 

​

You ask, “How can I overcome him?  What can I do?”

​

Don’t be alarmed.  God has made a way of escape.  Remember this:  Temptation by the devil is not a sign that your life is not right with God.  It is actually a sign that you are right with God.  Temptation is not sin.  Also remember that God never tempts His own children.  All doubts and temptations come from the devil.  Satan can only tempt.  He can never compel you to yield to the temptation.  Remember also that Satan has already been conquered by Christ.  His power is made inoperative in the life of a fully trusting and yielded Christian who is completely dependent upon God.
