VI. “And Lead Us not into Temptation”
2848
“Lead us not into temptation” implies a decision of the heart:
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also…. No one can
serve two masters.”156 “If we live by the Spirit, let us also
walk by the Spirit.”157 In this assent to the Holy Spirit the
Father gives us strength. “No testing has overtaken you that is not common
to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your
strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, so that
you may be able to endure it.”158
