*but will with the temptation make also the way out,*

tou DUnas-thai [1410] hu-pe-negKEIN [4297] .

*that you be able to endure it.*



 *NOTE**: *It is important to note that the entire Old Testament and
Covenant, is intended by God as *types*, *shadows*, and *examples* for the
church. The moral and ethical aspects of the Torah (law), of course carry
over into the New Testament or Covenant. Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount
(Matthew 5-7) points out that what Moses gave in the 10 commandments for
outward obedience - now - by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit in
believers, is to be lived out through us from *the heart*. Few people make
this clearer in their writings than Oswald Chambers. Yet, it is so easy to
read his “My Utmost for His Highest,” and not perceive what he sees in
Galatians 2:20 (2:15-21) - *“I have been crucified with Christ; and no
longer I live, but Christ lives in me: and what I now live in the flesh I
live by faith which is in the Son of :God, who loved me, and gave himself up
for me.”*


 But the outward laws of the Old Testament for Israel such as circumcision,
etc., - do *not* apply for us today - all such leads to legalism. As Paul
points out, the OT law is a Schoolmaster to show Israel and us, that apart
from Christ, *none* can keep OT Law! Only the law of the Spirit in Christ
Jesus living through us can please the Father.


 The Scribes and Pharisees rejected Jesus' teaching on this, and after 3
years of His ministry, *crucified* Him through Rome.


 But what Israel did in the wilderness for 40 years: rebelling, disobeying
and murmuring against God and His servant Moses - must not once be named
amongst us as saints! The righteousness of the Law of Moses was in the
letter or the flesh: - the righteousness God demands of NT saints, is of the
*heart* - of the *Spirit*! It is *Christ* living out His life through us by
the power of the indwelling Spirit, that pleases the heart of God!


 Finally, consider 1 Corinthians 10:13 above. In the “Topical Memory System”
of the Navigators, this was one of the 108 selected verses. What a wonderful
promise of grace! Again, let us return to Galatians 2:20. It lines up with
Romans 12:1-2 and Mark 8:34. Here are secrets in the Spirit - that set
saints walking in the Spirit apart from all unbelievers, and also all carnal
believers who are yet babes walking in the flesh. This is a normal walk for
babes and little children. But let us go on and grow into “young men in
Christ: - who are *strong*; the Word of God *abides* in us; and we have *
overcome* the evil one! 1 John 2:14 (2:12-17).


 In the light of these words, then God's words through Paul in the above 13
verses take on a characteristic all their own! The Kingdom of God in us -
righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit - make it all possible! All
praise to our God, and our Risen Savior and enthroned Lord, Jesus Christ! -
J.A.W.
