• Peterson speaks on the topic of security in faith from 1 Corinthians 10:1–3. Paul warns believers of the danger of falling short of the prize of eternal life. He recalls the story of the Exodus, drawing parallels between Israel’s experiences and their symbolic significance for the Christian life. The events of Israel serve as an example for believers and a reminder of the seriousness of salvation. Paul highlights four symbols of Israel’s rebellion: idolatry, sexual immorality, putting God to the test, and grumbling. For the Corinthians, such temptation were present dangers for the church. Paul's stark warning is to adopt a sober attitude of awareness in terms of their standing before God. Christians must not become complacent in their faith as a result of a mistaken view of grace or perseverance. God provides for those who are tested. Two ways God helps us through trials by never testing us beyond our strength and God will provide a way out; Christians must trust God and be patient as they await upon the Lord.
