DENYING THE WAY OF ESCAPE

Romans [GW]
14:12 All of us will have to give an
account of ourselves to God.
1Corinthians 10:12-14
So, people who think they are standing firmly should be careful that they don't
fall. There isn't any temptation that you have experienced which is unusual for
humans. God, who faithfully keeps his promises, will not allow you to be
tempted beyond your power to resist. But when you are tempted, he will also
give you the ability to endure the temptation as your way of escape. Therefore,
my dear friends, get as far away from the worship of false gods as you can.
Who is the most
responsible for my decisions and actions?
I am. This has
been so from Adam and Eve on. Read the Genesis account in chapter 3. Romans
14:2 explains this clearly. 1Corinthians 10:13 is bracketed by verses referring
to individual personal responsibility. I, like Adam, am without excuse.
How many times
has, like him, wondering been my path to wandering far from the Way (Jn.14:6)
of escape?
Oh yes, in
hindsight I recognize deliberately erred decisions and actions. Then there is the
truth of my life including having seen the godly path but taking another of my
preference.
Beware of self
denying the way of God’s exit!
