“He answered, “The Scriptures say: Bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word that constantly goes forth from God’s mouth.”
Matthew 4:4 TPT
In this verse Jesus is doing battle with Satan. Jesus had just fasted for 40 days in the desert. He was hungry and Satan saw his chance. However, he was wrong. Jesus knew His scripture and He knew His Father. He was not playing the game and losing His sinlessness.
We have been cleansed by the blood Jesus shed for us. We were born into sin, however, when we come to Christ and make Him Lord, we are new creatures created in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 5:17). We can also resist sin and the devil. James tells us: ‘resist the devil and he will flee!’ (James 4:7)
We need to stand up in who we are and tell Satan to go. Choose righteousness, not sinfulness saying: ‘oh well I was born into sin’. If you belong to Christ you have a new nature. Live in it! Amen!
