Christianity is a religion that gives hope and salvation, but also attracts some tough circumstances and temptations – which will eventually result to positive\u00a0benefits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"temptation\"Paul shared his personal experience of Christianity and said, \u201c… Are they Hebrews? So\u00a0am\u00a0I. Are they Israelites? So\u00a0am\u00a0I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So\u00a0am\u00a0I. <\/em><\/p>\n

Are they ministers of Christ?\u2014I speak as a fool\u2014I\u00a0am\u00a0more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. From the Jews five times I received forty\u00a0stripes\u00a0minus one.<\/p>\n

Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;\u00a0in\u00a0journeys often,\u00a0in\u00a0perils of waters,\u00a0in\u00a0perils of robbers,\u00a0in\u00a0perils of\u00a0my own\u00a0countrymen,\u00a0in\u00a0perils of the Gentiles,\u00a0in\u00a0perils in the city,\u00a0in\u00a0perils in the wilderness,\u00a0in\u00a0perils in the sea,\u00a0in\u00a0perils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fasting often, in cold and nakedness\u201d (2 Corinthians 11:22-27).<\/p>\n

Lesson on Christianity and Temptation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Children of God may face trials and persecutions for their faith, but God will help them overcome all.<\/p>\n

Christ promised victory for his saints and said,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"binoculars-1464304-1279x933\"“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will\u00a0have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world\u201d<\/em> (John 16:33).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christ’s affirmative statement of victory should be resounding in every Christian’s mind.<\/p>\n

Trials, temptations, and persecutions would remain temporal in our lives. No matter how tough a situation may appear, we will still overcome!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Satan will try whatever he can\u00a0in an attempt to break our confidence.<\/p>\n

His efforts may include an attack on our\u00a0testimonies; he may instigate people to abuse us, and he may aim at\u00a0hurting us emotionally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"rick-24127_640\"Meanwhile, our steadfastness in Jesus Christ is very important.<\/p>\n

Jehovah will not allow our tears to go unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

He will reward our endurance, and he will decorate our lives with honor. Steadfast Christians will receive God’s good rewards from this earth to heaven.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"praying-25596_640\"Prayer on Christianity and Temptation<\/em><\/h2>\n

Dear God, please give me your strength to remain a steadfast Christian.<\/p>\n

Enable me to keep irresistible faith in time of trial, temptation, and persecution. Strengthen my mind not to fall into Satan’s temptations.<\/p>\n

Empower me through your Holy Spirit to live an acceptable life before you always, so that I can receive your benefits in this world and in heaven also.<\/p>\n

For in the name of Jesus Christ I make my requests. Amen.<\/p>\n
