An ApplicationSatan knows how to quote scripture: MT 4:6. Satan had the nerve to ask God to bow to him (ISA 14:13), how much more will he use us for pawns (1PE 5:8, 2CO 11:14)? WWJD? Jesus's example shows us we should use scripture correctly to combat false teachers. Paul reiterates later in EPH 6:10-18 (our only offense is God's word, the rest of the armor is defense). We have to know scripture to use it, and knowing starts with reading (or hearing: ROM 10:17). Keep it up.

Connect the DotsParallel in LK 4:1-13. / Compare MT 4:1 to GE 3:1. Praise God He did better than Eve & Adam. / Contrast MT 4:2 to DT 9:9-11. If we're tempted to think those 40 days were figurative, remember the 40s in NUM 14:34 and JOS 14:7-10 were literal. Jesus will also spend 40 days on earth after His resurrection and before His ascension: ACT 1:3.
