~ Satan Knows God’s Word ~
Series
Note: Matthew 4 is a well-known chapter which gives
an account of Satan tempting Jesus Christ in the wilderness. There has been a lot written and discussed
regarding these three temptations (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life).
While
the study of Matthew 4 is a rich study regarding our Savior Jesus Christ it
also allows us to have insight into some of Satan’s abilities and actions. This series contains nine examples which make
it clear that Satan is a real personality.
Scripture ~ “Then the
devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
and said to Him, ‘If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: “He shall give His
angels charge over you,” and, “In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you
dash your foot against a stone”’” (Matthew 4:5-6).
Satan
was quoting from Psalm 91:11-12.
Comment ~ It is
important that realize Satan is not ignorant of the Word of God. However, when he uses God’s Word he twists it
or leaves out important parts of what he is quoting.
