"A Way Out"

 

“A Way Out”

 

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience.  And God is faithful.  He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand.  When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.    1 Corinthians 10:13

 

The Apostle Paul wrote this word of ENCOURAGEMENT to the TRUE BELIEVERS in Corinth.  He wanted them to UNDERSTAND, just how much POWER they possessed through Jesus Christ, in order to OVERCOME the TEMPTATIONS that they faced EVERYDAY. 

 

Here are some things, I feel God wants us to KNOW and APPLY to our LIVES and our RELATIONSHIP with Him, as His CHILDREN.  First, we should make sure that we have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him, which is, that you have come to the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST, and have CONFESSED your sins to Him, asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Next, You SHOULD BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You SHOULD be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, meaning, that you GIVE UP your OLD WAYS, and EMBRACE the WAYS of God.  In other words, START LIVING by FAITH and NOT by the FLESH.  This will bring STEADFASTNESS and STRENGTH to your FAITH.

 

And because of this RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD, made possible ONLY through a RELATIONSHIP with His SON, JESUS CHRIST, you can have the POWER to OVERCOME ANY TEMPTATION.  Because of God’s FAITHFULNESS and the fact that He will NOT ALLOW the TEMPTATION to be MORE than you can stand, you can be a VICTOR over these TEMPTATIONS that can bring GREAT HARM to your RELATIONSHP with God, if YOU allow YOURSELF to FALL to the TEMPTATION.  The BIGGEST PROBLEM TODAY, is people are NOT looking for A WAY OUT, through ENDURANCE but for a WAY IN for INDULGENCE.  How is YOUR RELATIONSHIP with GOD?  Are you LOOKING for A WAY OUT of your TEMPTATIONS?  Or are you LOOKING for a WAY IN FOR the INDULGENCE? 

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through His Son, JESUS CHRIST, then you really DON’T have a RELATIONSHIP with Him, and chances are EXTREMELY GOOD, that you are NOT LOOKING for a WAY OUT of the TEMPTATIONS you face each day.  Sadly, to say, but your DESTINY is NOT a very POSTIVE DESTINY. If you continue to REJECT JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and LORD, then you have NO RELATIONSHIP with GOD, but are HEADED for an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  You MUST have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD, by TURNING AWAY from your TEMPTATIONS, and TURNING to GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESSING your SINS to Him, and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and start LOOKING for WAYS OUT of your TEMPTATIONS, remembering, that GOD is FAITHFUL and will NOT ALLOW the TEMPTATION to be MORE than you can stand, but He will show you a WAY OUT, so that you can ENDURE, and have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with HIM, and spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
