Do any one know why do we have temptation in our life? the main core is that we have already given our heart to Christ,the next step is then, how to have uninterrupted relationship with our Redeemer, else then how to make our very self persist in spirituality!! bible says ,when Jesus to go into this wilderness where He would be tempted by Satan.Mark records that there were “wild animals” in this wilderness (Mark 1:13)
Why was Jesus tempted? While Jesus was God, He was also man. Jesus hungered as a man, thirsted as a man, suffered as a man, and ultimately died as a man. He was also tempted as a man, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15). This was necessary so that He could become a merciful High Priest (Hebrews 2:17). Jesus knew what it meant to be tempted with sin and the things of this world. In this regard, He wasn’t like the mythological gods of Rome and Greece who gave in to temptation but were somehow above it all. Jesus was no hypocrite. He resisted temptation his entire life. In so doing, He became the perfect standard for us to imitate in life (Hebrews 12:1,2). The Devil, is, of course, Satan. Jesus said he was a murderer from the beginning and that he has no truth in him (John 8:44). The word “Devil” means “adversary” or “accuser.” That’s Satan’s true character. In that regard, he is like the lion who is seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). We must resist him in all things and with all prayer (1 Peter 5:9). When we so resist, he will flee from us, because he is truly a coward (James 4:7).
Matthew calls Satan “the Tempter” in this verse. It is yet one more characteristic of Satan against which we need to be on guard. Ephesians 6:11 says, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” says, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12) How do v put on the armour of God? what is that armour of God?
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:(Ephesians 6:17) we could be only connected to God only when we shall overcome the temptation of this world and that is only possible only when helmet our very self with word of god..the scriptures
The book of Joshua says !!! This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. (Joshua 1:8) if we go into core of that word we could find that the scriptures should not be in our hands or our bags but then it should flow from our very mouth..just imagine then how intimate then bible should in our very lifes.
Dear brothers & sisters in Christ!! we need to understand the importance of bible in our very life,so dear be always connected to Christ and have ......good success:(joshua1:8) Amen
