Episode 571: 1 Corinthians 10 Part 3 Temptation Is Not Sin

Paul tells the believers in Corinth, “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.” Why does he say this? Because some of these believers think they have a ticket to do anything they want since they started following Jesus but what Paul is emphasizing to them is this is not the case! They must stop sinning which is what he will plainly tell them later on. He tells them here that God makes a way of escaping temptation. You can so no and flee! Get out of there, out of the situation that has led you to be tempted! Being tempted is not a sin for Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan but he never sinned, and this same Jesus who overcame the enemy and his temptations, has defeated him, and he lives in us through the Holy Spirit! Go and sin no more!
