The Way of Friendship – Part 1
Dr RJ Sing
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
The judgement you deserved was put on your substitute, in your place, and that judgement can never be imposed on you again. This is the crux of God’s Love in the Bible that we call Salvation.
This is why as soon as He was mature, Jesus was led into the wilderness, where satan came to tempt Him exactly as he had come to tempt Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Every time satan tried to bring question on God’s Word, Jesus rejected his suggestions and forthrightly asserted what God had said – Matthew 4:1-11. Under the most trying circumstances, Jesus believed God’s Word.
Under the most trying circumstances, you too must reject anything suggested by the devil or the world system. You have to live and quote God’s Word and overcome every situation. God’s Word has inherent power and will change things in your life. The Word of God is a game-changer. Begin to take hold of the Word and make your way through life.
