Assurance of Victory!

There Hath No Temptation

Taken You

But Such As Is Common To Man,

BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL

Who Will Not Allow You

To Be Tempted Above

That You Are Able

But Will With The Temptation

But Will With The Temptation

But Will With The Temptation

Also Make A

WAY TO ESCAPE

That You May Be Able

To Bear It.

1 Cor. 10:13

But God Is Faithful.

This is the only source of security;

and this is enough.

If we look only to ourselves,

we will fail.

If we depend on the faithfulness of God,

we will be secure.

How Do We Depend On The Faithfulness of God?

We resist temptation.

We seek His aid.

We depend on His promises.

All Circumstances That Lead To Temptation

are under the control of God.

Every man that tempts us.

Every fallen spirit that engages us.

Every book, picture, amusement, music.

Every business plan, gain, or ambition.

All Are Under The Control Of God.

He can check them.

He can paralyze them.

He can destroy them.

God does not infuse evil thoughts into the mind;

God does not create an object of temptation to place in our way;

God permits it...God does not create it.

That it may be turned in some way to His glory.

That it may be turned in some way to our spiritual growth.

But God Will With The Temptation:

Make a way of deliverance.

Save us from being entirely overcome by it.

That we may be able to bear it.

That we may be able to endure it.

This Promise Is Positive And Certain!

A way shall be made for our escape;

We shall be able to bear it.

Is God Faithful Or Is God Not Faithful?

Will God allow us to be tempted above that we are able?

Will God make a way for our escape?

Can we believe either of these?

It follows that we who are converted shall be kept unto salvation.
