Fighting Temptation is Combat God Allows

 

Fighting temptation is combat God allows, to us because it is won or lost at the spiritual level, not in flesh, He desires that we endure when we are tempted and promises that there is a way out for us as victorious, When we are sorely tempted, it may not seem that there is a way out, but the God who made us knows what we can endure and bear, and it is He who provides a way of escape as winners.

(ref,1 Corinthians 10*13 says, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can’t bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

Depending on what His goal is in our lives, God’s way of escape might be to take us through the temptation, or He may give us strength to overcome it. His desire is that we don’t fall into temptation, but that we proceed through it and master it, rather than it mastering us. God wants us to overcome

(ref,1 Peter 1*3-8), reminds us, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
