1 Corinthians 10:11-13 ESV
Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
The basics of temptation were the same yesterday as they are today. They are common to man. We share the same skin and world. The record of journeys that went before us are useful to us as we undertake our journey, which is the same journey everyone must make: to get from here to there. It is the great migration of our souls.
Paul confirms that our life is filled with temptation. God's plan is for us to choose Him and keep on choosing Him. It is the endurance of the saints and the persevering to the end. In doing this, we are able to at reach the promised land, our inheritance as children of God.
God is for us. He is with us and walks with us. He has made a way, where there was no way.
