Discuss Matthew 4 Page 16

Satan is a liar. we christian should not fear him as we are children of God. we are not allowed to be tempted. Jesus is our way.

I have learnt from this chapter.
Satan know everything. The goodness of worshiping God.
Satan know that in the word of God,there is life. This is why he tried to convince Jesus to step down from this belief in verse4.

Satan knows that in worshiping there is a grate reward. This is why we see him commanding Jesus to worship him in exchange of the world in verse9.

In verse6,Satan manifest him self that He knows how caring God is to us. He knows that He will not allow us to slip down,He will not watch us being tortured and any harm to us. As it is written that He will "command" the angels to come for our aid.

Do not be mislead by him,as he comes like the promised prophet and give a biblical prophecy. He knows that in Lord Jesus we have everything.

Let us focus on Jesus a lone.

Christ was tempted as the Son of God...it would not have helped us at all if He came as God

In this life we really need to be careful as to who is quoting the word of God into our lives and under what circumstances . Matt: 4:6, satan took a bold step in what he taught was Jesus' weakest hour to quote the word. But what he did not realized is that Jesus is THE WORD. Acct.to John1: Then also His strength is made perfect in my weakness.

Jesus/yes/ is a healer.Truely he came to all that is sick.we need to trust in him.

the word of God is power that has the ability to manifest itself in so many dimensions including what ever man desire of in this world because john 1:1 everything was by him n through him including the food being spoken here.

I love you Jesus Christ.I belive in my heart that you the saviour and the Son of our heavenly Father GOD.Teach me your ways because you know mine.

When we start the journey of following Jesus we have to know that we have entered into the battle field with the devil and temptations are part and parcel of this journey so if you haven't yet facing trials know that you haven't started your journey.

He said: "It is written:" A reader should look to the Old Testament to discover what words came out of the mouth of God. God as the speaker is what is referred to.

...nobody is exempted for temptations it is how firm you are to where you stand or what do you believe. Since I am redeemed by the blood of the lamb holy spirit's voice pat my mind to hear its voice and yield not.

God has give all of men the freedom to do as they will(free will) the whole bible of what I remember that has been taught to me preaches this freedom to do what you will (freedom of will) In the beginning Adam was given the a choice, Ahbraham given a choice, Moses was given a choice. God asked everyone, God never ordered them to do anything, they chose to follow; just as the the 12 aposels were asked. You and I are given a choice of FREE WILL, and this is the choice we have to give to everyone else when we are teaching others the Words of our Lord. My God be with you in Jesus name. Amen

@Peace,
There are many scriptures that speak of the Grace of God, but a couple of my favourites ones are:
- John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
- Isaiah 53:4-5; 4 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” 5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
- Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

The temptation by evil is not a plan of God but a plan of Evil. So it could be an attempt to physically eliminate or weaken Jesus, especially when Jesus was physically weak after 40 days of fasting, so that the plan of God Almighty about Jesus is nip in the bud itself. Knowing the plan of evil, Jesus willingly (bodily) climbed to the pinnacle of temple when asked by evil so as to win over evil.

you must be born again

Am a sinner hw can i be deliver?

I believe we are sinners. And we need to get out there to other people and let them know what Christ has done for us. And thank God every day for sending his ONLY SON to be murder by the hands of us So God turned his back on his ONLY SON so we could have EVERY LASTING LIFE. Through Christ our Lord and SAVIOR.

I BELIEVE THAT WHEN ARE LIVING IN DARKNESS AND WE DECIDE TO FOLLOW JESUS IT PUT US IN A BETTER PLACE THE WORD SAYS THE EARTH IS THE LORDS AND THE FULLNESS THERE OF AND ALL THAT DWELLS THERE IN LET US KEEP IN THE WORD SO WE MAY OVER COME TEMPTATIONS

Jesus is the son of God. He is the answer to the world today, and he is the only solution. I love Jesus.

It’s up to you who you'll choose; but for me it is God who only has a place or a Kingdom in my heart God. Not Satan (devil).

The world is the kingdom of Satan, the evil world. That’s the reason God sent Jesus Christ to deliver the sinners through His blood from this evil place to the Holy Kingdom of God which is heaven the. In Matthew 4:8, 9, Satan offers his Kingdom to Jesus Christ if Jesus will worship him. But, no way.

What strikes or hits me is that, this word is real! Do what it say, and watch God do what he says! Verse 30, for example, they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproofs. But do this and listen to God’s word, then watch your owns ways change. But you have to do this with your heart! Because this is what God looks at, and takes seriously. Verse 31, therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own wickedness! Verse 23, thus saith God, turn you at my reproof (counsel)! Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you! Do this, and see God really lead you and guide you and tell you more than what the people go to church or worship building know. Because you are his people and he is your God through Jesus Christ! If your heart troubles you, God is greater than our heart and knows all things, but there is no man, stepping up then goes back, such an one is not fit for the kingdom of God ( Luke 9:62)! Or if any man draws back, God's soul have no more pleasure in him ( Hebrews 10:38). I know people think we should try to live the bible as best we can, but God said, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds or comes forth out of the mouth of God ( Deuteronomy 8:3, Mark 4:4, Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4). God is not playing with us when he came through Jesus Christ! God is with us for truth and righteousness, and to heal and raise us from the dead. Because his enemies are real, God through Jesus Christ also is real! But there are more of the enemy then of the truth or spirit of God! Because the enemy deceives us with the fancy, glittery things, and the things that are pleasing to the eyes, to trick us, and this he does well, but for destruction and hell! God sent his son servant here to deliver us from the fallen spirits, and to raise us up with truth and healing and strength. But many despise God’s wisdom, and rather believe the or a lie ( Romans 1:23), but while we stop and believe the lie, God keeps moving and leaves us behind, and says; unless you repent, you shall likewise perish ( Luke 13:3). My name is David Brown I'm living true witness, because Jesus Christ made me so, and to expose the lie and lay the truth, even if no-one wants to hear it!

We must live in this world but be exempt of this world, Jesus is the way, trust and believe that Jesus is able, the devil is a liar, indeed, i struggle daily with his lies. I'm a strong believer of The Creator of Heaven and Earth, thanks be to Jesus that died for me.

@Kelley,
Who really rules this world? If you have read anything about Satan; please know that he's a liar and a deceiver. So it’s to you to choose.

As we observe the tempting of Jesus Christ (the anointed one of god) in the wilderness we are witnessing the same temptations that the serpent presented to Eve in the Garden of Eden. 1. lust of the flesh 2. the pride of life 3. lust of the eyes.

The gift of healing was given as a sign to the Jews directly ( I Corinthians 1:22), but that was not the main purpose for Jesus’ ministry and probably not to interested in having those have been healed by Jesus to go out and spread the word to the multitude. The main ministry at this time in history for Jesus is to preach to the Jews that kingdom of heaven is at hand ( Matthew 4:17).

If the tempter could tempt Jesus Christ, which means that God did not promise that there will be no tempters among us, but he promised to see us through.

God knew what would be in place for his son and nothing would have changed this except if the devil obeyed God which he did not. Jesus was being prepared to take THE whole WORLD back to his father and he knew it. God said it straight forward this is my son in whom I am well pleased. Let’s leave religion out and everything we think we know about him then start all over. The LOVE OF GOD for all of us planned a perfect plan to get us back and every step was well planned. Jesus is truly lord and is the son of GOD that has given us proof of his plan step by step. Loving God is the perfect way of drawing closer to understanding His will with his and unconditional love through CHRIST OR LORD AND SAVIOUR.

We are more than victorious with JESUS.

Three tests faced the Lord, the same shall face believers of the truth before the second advent of the savior. These are: 1. all mankind shall be tested of true GOD WORSHIP, Satan wants to be worshiped in place of true God JEHOVAH'S. Satan is ready to give power and earthly authority, to men of this planet so that they pay homage and worship to idols instead of the true GOD. 2. Satan will test people to ignore heavenly principles of eating and will use food to make men go astray from the love of GOD. Satan will cause hunger and famine, Satan shall bring drought in many places of this planet so that the test of eating is a substitute for men to pay homage and worship to devil in place of God. Satan did that to Jesus when he fasted for forty days and nights. 3. Satan will lead men to test their creator by using the promise made by God himself to his people. Satan will cause men to rethink the genuineness of the promise of God to men as he did to our lord Jesus Christ.

To me it shows that Satan is the ruler of this world and we must follow Jesus example closely.
