The Temptations of Christ
Matthew 4: 1 - 11
1. Temptation 1: To be our own god.
a. Instead of trusting God, we take matters into our own hands.
2. Temptation 2: To test our God.
a. To ask God to protect us, then behave foolishly, forcing God to intervene.
3. Temptation 3: To worship another god.
a. To get our fulfillment from the world and not from God. To worship or create any idol, including materialism.
How do we defeat these temptations?
1. Know the scripture.
2. Know how much God loves us.
3. Understand that our purpose is to walk with God.
