God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ
I Corinthians 10:13 is the sixth use of “but God.” Biblically six is the human number. It is one short of seven, which denotes spiritual perfection, and is typically used to signify shortcomings and man’s sinful natural nature.
I Corinthians 10:13:
There has 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.
Temptation is not from God, for God is not tempted neither does he tempt any man. Rather, man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed (James 1:14). Temptation when it is conceived can bring forth sin if one allows it to. The devil uses both pleasures and pressures to separate us from the truth. He will use pleasures to lure us away and pressures to force us from staying put on the truth.
This verse in Corinthians teaches one that regardless of the temptation the believer is able to stand and remain steadfast on the Word. There is no reason to break fellowship with God because He always provides a way to escape that we can bear up under it. God knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation (II Peter 2:9).
God is faithful. He will always provide a way to escape. No matter what the believer is tempted with, he is always able to bear it. The believer will walk as more than a conqueror when he is cognizant of the reality that God in Christ is always in him and that there is nothing that could possibly come up in his walk that he cannot handle because God is faithful. That’s one of the ways God works all things together for our good; He provides a way to escape (Romans 8:28). Regardless of whatever comes up, we can be more then conquerors through him that loved us. Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our lord (Romans 8:37-39).
Sarah received the promise that she would bear a son because she judged him faithful who had promised. A challenge is simply looking at what is available face to face. God presents one with challenge upon challenge as one goes to the Word and finds out what is available. Then one can apply the other keys of how to receive anything from God. The believer must stand faithful and not succumb to Satan’s endless suggestions.
I Corinthians 10:13 is living and real in light of the walk of Jesus Christ, for he was in all points tempted like as any man, yet he was without sin (Hebrews 4:15). No one is exempt from temptation, but God is faithful. He will not allow one to be tempted beyond one’s capacity to overcome. Conditions in the world may become seemingly unbearable, and one’s bewilderment almost too much to handle, but God is faithful. The believer is able to bear it. In so doing, he develops the strength to succor them that are tempted (Hebrews 2:18) and lays up for himself rewards for standing faithful.
