- 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13 says, No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.
- 00:29
- And God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,
- 00:35
- He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. This Scripture teaches us a wonderful principle.
- 00:42
- If we belong to Him, God will not allow any difficulty to come into our lives that we are not capable of bearing in the power of Christ.
- 00:51
- With every temptation and every testing that comes our way, God will remain faithful to us.
- 00:57
- He will provide a way to endure the test. We do not have to give in to sin. We can obey
- 01:03
- God in every circumstance. So we have divine encouragement in our
- 01:08
- Christian walk. The prayer, Deliver us from evil, Matthew 6 verse 13, will be answered.

- However, these promises do not mean we will never face trouble. On the contrary, Jesus said,
- 01:21
- In this world you will have trouble. John 16 verse 33a. The key is found in Jesus' next words,
- 01:28
- But take heart, I have overcome the world. John 16 verse 33b.
- 01:34
- Paul and his companions were sorely tried as they took the gospel into new areas. This is his testimony.
- 01:41

- 01:48
- Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. 2 Corinthians 1 verses 8 and 9.
- 01:55
- It sounds like Paul was tempted beyond what he could bear—far beyond. This fact leads us to another truth.
- 02:02
- Our strength to endure testing and temptation does not come from ourselves, it comes from God.
- 02:08
- That's exactly what Paul says next, This happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God.
- 02:15
- 2 Corinthians 1 verse 9. Paul continues with praise to the Lord for his deliverance, verse 10, and an emphasis on the efficacy of the prayers of the church, verse 11.
- 02:27
- Anything that comes our way, anything that tempts us, any tragedy that befalls us, we are capable, in God's power, of overcoming.
- 02:35
- In all things, we can achieve spiritual victory through Christ. Life is not easy.
- 02:41
- The fact is, we often need a way of escape. Life is hard, but we can face it with confidence in God's gracious promises.
- 02:50
- We are more than conquerors in Christ. Romans 8 verse 37. Everyone born of God overcomes the world.

- Our position as children of God is secure. We will come through the trials intact.
