“Lead Us Not into Temptation”

 (ID: 2153)

The moment we become God’s friend, we become Satan’s enemy and enter into the battle against temptation. While believers are still inclined toward sin, Alistair Begg reminds us that we are no longer slaves to its power. When we ask that God not to lead us into temptation, it is because He shows us the way out of temptation. We can therefore confidently fight skirmishes against sin, knowing that Christ has already won the war.
