You Will Not Fall!

 2Peter 2:9

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Are you facing temptations to compromise in this dark world where temptations abound? Temptations at the work place, temptations in the market place, on the street; temptations in the home (on TV, etc), temptations on the internet and social media? Temptations in your mind? Do you fear you may give in one day?

But the more important question is, are you a godly man or woman? (Do you fear God?) Then let me alley your fears. God’s word (the final authority on all issues of life) says that God knows how to deliver His godly ones out of temptation (2Peter 2:9 paraphrased).  So why don’t you take refuge in that. No matter how serious the temptation (no matter how tough the pressure to compromise), God says He knows how to deliver you--and He will deliver you!

Lets conclude with this reassurance from 1 Corinthians 10:13:

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.

The faithful God will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you’re able to bear.  And with every temptation that comes your way, He will make a way to escape. So your escape from every temptation of life is guaranteed.  Two more verses and we are done.

1 Corinthians 1:8:

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Finally, in 1 Thesalonians 3:13, it says:

To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 

What is the Lord saying? 

That He is able to keep you unto the end that when Christ returns the second time, you will be found blameless. I’m sure you want to shout a loud Amen to that! What a joy! Therefore, relax friend, and enjoy the Christian experience.

Meanwhile, until you are saved, temptations of life will swallow you up.  You have no power whatsoever to overcome them. Until you surrender your heart to Jesus, you are no match for the devil or Satan who is also known as the tempter.  If your heart is set to follow Jesus, then we can say a simply prayer. 

LETS PRAY:

I believe that Jesus died for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgotten. Check this:

 

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

 

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 ) 

 

You are also encouraged to join a Bible Believing Church near you, in case you're not in one already, where you can grow in the Lord (1^st Peter 2:2 and 2^nd Samuel 7:10) . And keep following on our social media platforms (Facebook:@josephmasiam, YouTube:@josephmasiam).

 

Remain ever blessed.

Jesus is Lord!
