Some Christians turn to 1 Corinthians 10:13 during hard times, remembering God’s promise to provide a way to endure temptation. In the original Greek, the same word is used for both “temptation” and “trial.” I believe this means that life’s challenges can be either, depending on how we respond.

If a difficulty leads a person to sin, through doubt, accusing God, or losing trust, it has become a temptation that succeeded. But if the same situation is met with prayer, trust in God, and patience for His deliverance, it becomes a trial that builds strength.

Temptations pull a person toward sin, while trials grow a believer’s faith. The very same problem can be one or the other, based on our reaction. God calls us to view life’s struggles as opportunities to grow in faith and serve Him better, trusting His promises to guide us through.

Some people search for peace in all the wrong places. They look to money, pleasure, or distractions. But nothing outside of God can bring lasting peace. As long as someone lives in a way that goes against God’s will, inner peace will remain out of reach.

When a person begins to know God better and grow closer to Him, it becomes clear that ignoring His direction only leads to restlessness. Disobedience may be hidden under temporary comforts like wealth, alcohol, drugs, or relationships, but these things can’t quiet the soul. Peace does not come from what we own or experience; it comes from who we know.

Peace is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Through Him, people can face difficult moments with calm and confidence. This kind of peace does not depend on circumstances but on the presence of Christ within.

- Floyd Rogers

True peace is found in a relationship with God, not in worldly possessions or distractions.

The Bible teaches that Jesus rose from the dead, and this truth gives hope to all who believe in him. In the first man, Adam, death came into the world. Because of him, every person faces sin and death. But through Jesus, called the new Adam, there is a new future. His resurrection is described as the first fruit, meaning it is the beginning of what is to come for those who follow him.

The order is clear. Christ was raised first, and when he returns, those who belong to him will also be raised. What happened to Jesus will one day happen to his people. Just as we shared in Adam’s weakness, we will share in Christ’s victory over death. Our story does not end in the grave, but in life with him.

This hope is not only for later but also for today.

- Amy Turner

Jesus’ resurrection offers hope for believers, promising future victory over death and eternal life.

In Ephesians 6, Paul tells believers to wear spiritual armour, including the helmet of salvation. For Roman soldiers, a helmet was essential protection against powerful head strikes in battle. Such blows could end a fight instantly. Spiritually, this helmet represents the believer’s hope of final salvation.

In 1 Thessalonians, Paul calls it the helmet of the hope of salvation. This points to the confidence that God will complete the work He began in every believer. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He will bring His people to glory. This hope is not uncertain; it is a promised inheritance that can never perish, kept safe by God’s power through faith.

The greatest threat to a believer would be the fear of losing salvation. The helmet of salvation guards against that fear. It protects the mind with the assurance that eternal life rests on God’s promises and the finished work of Christ.

The helmet of salvation symbolizes believers’ hope and assurance of eternal life through God’s promises.

The kind of peace Jesus gives is not like what the world offers. It comes directly from Him and reflects His close relationship with God the Father. Jesus said that He and the Father are one, so the peace He provides is godly. It comes from heaven.

This peace can’t be found through people, possessions, or even quiet surroundings. It is found only through knowing Jesus personally. When someone enters into a real relationship with Him, they begin to experience a peace that is steady, even when life is uncertain or difficult.

This peace does not depend on what is happening around us. It remains, even when we face struggles. It is a gift that Jesus gives to those who trust in Him.

- Floyd Rogers

Jesus offers a divine peace, unshakeable in struggles, found only through personal relationship with Him.

In a letter to the Colossians, Paul speaks about Jesus using powerful words. He explains that the complete nature of God lives in Christ, and those who trust in him are made whole. Paul is showing that everything about Jesus is shared with his followers.

Christ is not lacking in any way. He is more than enough for the needs of the heart, the body, and the mind. Through him, people are able to live the life that God intended for them. Christ is not empty or missing something.

Jesus is the head over all power and authority, and those who are in him share in this fullness.

- AMY TURNER

Paul emphasizes that Christ embodies God’s fullness, providing wholeness and authority to believers.
