CHOICE 5: 1 CORINTHIANS 10. HOW CHRIST HELPS US OVERCOME SIN

Ways in which Christ is like a “Rock”:

A rock is strong and immovable. Christ can be strong and immovable. A rock is  steadfast and hard, Christ is steadfast and hard. A rock can be used for a foundation, Christ and his Gospel is the foundation of our faith and testimony.

Verse 13 of chapter 10 is reassuring because:

Looking at all the sins Paul mentions in the selected verses, and keeping in mind all the sins available today, verse 13 is really reassuring. It’s reassuring because any sin....ANY SIN that is here and that we are tempted by, can be overcome with Christ help. Nothing that is thrown our way will or can overtake us. Nothing is impossible.

Why Paul discussed Christ as a “rock” in the same verse as 13:

Having reference of Christ being the “rock” in verse 13 is mentioned because we need that assurance of something true, steadfast and loyal. A rock is like that and we can trust in Christ in this promise. 

How Alma 13:28 expands our understanding of what Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 10:13:

The verse in Alma expands our understanding of the verse in Corinthians in a way that we are required to do something. We can’t just expect a sin that can’t be overcome, but we need to pray that we can overcome it. By doing this we become patient, humble, meek, submissive, full of love, and all-long-suffering.
