‘‘Temptation…is common to man.’’_
1 Corinthians 10:13.

The Bible says,_ ‘God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it’ (v. 13.).

Our minds are like a hotel. The manager cannot keep someone from entering the lobby, but he can keep them from getting a room.

And it’s the same with temptation. When God redeemed you, you became a regenerate spirit living in an unregenerate body. And you were ‘sealed [by the Holy Spirit] unto the day of redemption’ (see Ephesians 4:30).

When you seal an envelope, its contents are protected until it’s delivered to its destination. Getting the idea? Satan can’t prevail against your regenerate spirit, so he attacks you through your lower nature.

Paul acknowledged this: ‘I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway’ (Romans 7:19). You will never be immune to temptation, but you can overcome it.
