Examples to Learn Admonition From


1 Corinthians 10:11-13
Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but 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.

Continuing from yesterday with Jeremiah 2:11-19 on examples to learn from, these show how we need to watch out because we can fall as easily as Israel in the OT.  Pride says we are better, and sets us up - so we must carefully watch to avoid by learning from the past examples.  But we have Christ to bear us up and go to for help; He promises a way out of temptation, a way to bear it when it seems we cannot.  So we have examples and God's presence to get us through now.
