There is as common thread in Jesus’ response to all three satanic temptations. Jesus always responded, “It is written.”
Can you also respond with scripture when you are tempted? You may not be able to give the chapter and verse. If you read Jesus’ response carefully you will notice he didn’t either. That is not to say he did not know where it was found in Scripture, it is just that the words of truth are all that is necessary.
Scripture tells us, “Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee” (Psalm 119:11).
