TEMPTATION
And it appears that things are getting worse. Jesus advised us that the final days will be marked by escalating events of: pain, death & deception with signs in the heavens, economic turmoil, seismic activity, persecution of Christians, political conflict, famines, pestilence, commotions, ethnic conflicts, false prophets, waning faith, fearful sights, wars and rumors of wars, diseases (Matt. 24:4–14; Mark 13:5–13; Luke 21:11.) Sounds like our daily news. N. Korea, today, said they were going to W.W. 3 with the U. S. which would be a Nuke War. Jesus said, “All these events are the beginning of the labor pains” (Matt. 24:8 ). I have it on good authority that labor pains increase in frequency and intensity as the delivery draws near. Jesus was speaking of a day in which the same concept would happen in this world. There will be a generation in which great danger and depravity will escalate at an increasing rate. Apostle Paul also give us a prophesy about it in 2 Tim.3:1-5.
It is also interesting that the placenta is discarded after birth and the cord is cut. The placenta provides the Nutrient and Oxygen Transfer: It acts as the interface for exchanging oxygen, nutrients, and waste between the mother’s blood and the fetus. So we are the “Body of Christ” as in 1 Cor.12? Are we now living in that era and headed towards an eternal birth into the Kingdom of God. This could be the eternal birth as cells and parts in the Body of Christ of which HE is the head?
We are finding temptations now attacking us from every direction. So how come our Creator God allows all of this lust, greed and quest for power to continue. So let’s see what the Bible teaches…
Col. 1:18, “He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be pre-eminent].” So we (the Elect) are in the process of being created in a John 17:20-26, 1 Cor.12, Eph.4:11-16 & 1 John 4:16-17. A unified body to be born into the Kingdom of God as the Body of Jesus Christ. A Body without spot, wrinkle or blemish. A body that is cancer free. Let this truth find it way into your heart and it will totally change your life.
So why all of the temptations? So that we can learn to be cancer free. We were born into a world full of cancer. Jesus was sent to give is the cure, most feel more comfortable with the cancer. Temptations are not sin, but they can show us where we are weak and still have cancer growing. 1 Corinthians 10:13, “For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.” 1 Timothy 6:9, “But those who crave to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish (useless, godless) and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction and miserable perishing.” Hebrews 4:15, “For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who (Jesus) has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.” James 1:2, “Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.” James 1:12, “Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor’s] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.” 1 Peter 1:5-7, “Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God’s power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that [a] final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, by [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire, 1 Cor.3:11-15. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed.
2 Peter 2:8-10, “For that just man, living [there] among them, tortured his righteous soul every day with what he saw and heard of [their] unlawful and wicked deeds—Now if [all these things are true, then be sure] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations and trials, and how to keep the ungodly under chastisement until the day of judgment and doom, And particularly those who walk after the flesh and indulge in the lust of polluting passion and scorn and despise authority. Presumptuous [and] daring [self-willed and self-loving creatures]! They scoff at and revile dignitaries (glorious ones) without trembling,”
So our temporary experience with this body on this temporary world and in this temporary time zone is to either prep us to live in the family of God or to exile our eternal soul, without a body, into outer darkness for eternity, Jude 13. Of course the Bible teaches us that God wants us to be victorious. There is no third choice, our Creator God has no use for our Adamic nature. Either we learn to be victorious over temptations through faith and God’s Grace. Or we will live with our Adamic carnal prideful and rebellious sin nature for eternity all by ourselves. Your soul was created eternal, God’s Holy Spirit requires obedience to Jesus as Lord. Our body is temporary. We are only awarded a new eternal body if Jesus is truly LORD. This sin infection will not be allowed to leave earth.
