Jay Adams, Explaining the Hope We Receive from I Corinthians 10:13

“God promises that with the trial he will also ‘make a way of escape in order that you may be able to endure it.’ Every box has its way out; every problem has a solution; every trial will come to an end for God’s children. This is not true, of course, for others. One of the most fearful facts about the eternal punishment of hell is the great eternal gulf that separates it from Jesus Christ, forever. There is no exit from hell, no way of escape, no end of suffering and trial. That is why men without Christ fear death; somehow they realize that death is a box without an exit. And the fear of death (with its consequences) makes life itself a box. But the Christian, who knows that Jesus Christ entered the box for him and broke through the walls of death that the fear of its eternal engulfing power might be removed, no longer need fear death, nor life. Whatever way of escape God may provide, even if it is the very best of all, if you have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, you may be certain that the way out will come just as surely as the problem itself. God says that together with the trial there will also be ‘a way of escape.’ Knowing this, simply knowing that there will be an end to the trial, is itself most reassuring. The knowledge enables you to go on. It spurs you on and helps you to continue to assume your responsibilities before God. It gives hope. You can endure anything when you know that it has an end. Depressed, discouraged Christian, let me urge you to take God at His word. no matter how dark the night may seem – the morning will come. With the darkness there is also light. There is Christ; and in Him is light, light that will enable you to endure it. The boxy may seem impregnable, but it isn’t – not to God.” (Christ and Your Problems, pgs. 28-30)
