There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but GOD is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
GOD cares for His children, and wants what is best for us. He is not out to 'get' us, so whenever temptation comes; and it will come, GOD is there with the power, the solution and the strength to overcome. Our problem is we fail to rely on Him all to often. We try to live the Christian life apart from Christ, which is impossible. We try to live our lives apart from the wisdom, power, and strength we get from Jesus Christ; and while we can never apart from the presence of GOD, for the Holy Spirit lives within us, we forget that it is His life for we are not our own. We can't live for Him, and then act as atheists at the same time.
But for those outside, those that do not possess this power, or His presence; He calls you to repent, that is surrender to Him on His terms, and be born again. For until you receive Him by faith, and trust His finished work on the cross for your salvation from sIn, you are under the judgment of GOD and separated from Him. You cannot live the Christian life for you do not yet have Christ. But, GOD is not willing that any should perish, and wants you to become a new creature with a brand new life in Him.
