This Will Happen To Christians

Luke 4:1-2 - Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry. NASU 
​
  • Christians Are 
Christians are men and women who have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them (Acts 2:38, Rom. 8:8-11). It is to our advantage that we remember Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Spirit. It was there that He was engaged in a battle with the devil.
 
Once a person is baptized into Christ they can expect the devil to bring all types of temptations before them for the sole purpose of getting them to give up on their faith in Jesus. 
  • 40 Days 
For 40 days Jesus was tempted to sin and for 40 days each temptation that He was confronted with He refused to give into them. He was victorious each time. He remained sinless and in so doing He was able to offer Himself as the Lamb without spot on the cross at Calvary. Each time He was tempted He refused because He knew the world needed Him as their Savior.
 
Praise God for His strength to overcome every temptation.
 
There is only one way people were going to be able arrive safely on Heaven's shores and that was if Jesus could remain sinless. He is the world's perfect sacrifice because He never sinned. 
  • Your Wilderness 
When you're led into your wilderness to be tempted remember you're not alone. You have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you to help you overcome each temptation.
 
You and I do not have to go through our trials and temptations alone. We have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us and He will bring scripture to our memories to help us fight off the temptations the devil brings our way. It was with scripture that Jesus defeated the evil one and so it will be with us.
 
We also have Christians we can call when we are being tempted and share with them what we are presently going through. It is during these times other Christians will pray with and for us. They will also share scriptures with us to give us strength and encourage us just by their being there.
 
I John 4:4 says, "…greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."
 
When Moses was leading the children of Israel out of the Egypt God protected them with a Pillar of Fire and a Pillar of a Cloud.
 
Exodus 14:13 - Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. NIV
 
We know how this story ends. God parted the Red Sea and they walked across on dry land and after all the Israelites were safe the seas collapsed and killed the Egyptians. God had saved the Israelites. God will save us. 
  • Temptations Can Be Defeated 
Every temptation that comes before us can be defeated especially when we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us using God's Word as the light to our path.
 
Think About These:
 
By yielding to temptation one may lose in a moment what it took a lifetime to gain.
 
Few speed records are broken when people run away from temptations.

Stay Pumped,
