When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan (Matthew 4), He didn’t rely on His own words—He answered every challenge with Scripture. In fact, He used God’s Word as His defense: 📖 “It is written…” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)
This reminds us that the best way to grow deeper in our faith is to go deeper into God’s Word. |
