Matthew 4:7

Matthew 4:7 "Jesus said to him, 'Again it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'" commentary- Jesus was tempted by the devil/tempter. He tried to get Jesus to turn stones into bread during a fast, and to jump off  a temple to have God save him. Jesus's response every time was with scripture in it's proper context to ward of Satan's attempts. Satan even promised to give Jesus kingdoms & glory if he worshiped him. Jesus told Satan to go away & knew to only worship God & God alone. When we are tempted to sin against God we need to know what to say to Satan's temptations.
