START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Matthew 4:6-7
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
IT IS WRITTEN / MATTHEW 4:6
- The Greek verb gegraptai (meaning “it is written”) is in the perfect tense. This tense reflects that God’s command is both a completed action and a continuing state that results from that action. The full force of the statement in Greek is: “It has been written and it still stands written.” This points to the ongoing authority and unchanging nature of God’s Word.
- Jesus used God’s Word as an effective weapon against temptation; Satan tried to misuse God’s Word in order to tempt Jesus to sin. At times, people who oppose God will also misuse the Bible in an attempt to persuade believers to do something they know is wrong or unwise. Some Bible passages, when taken out of context or not compared with other parts of God’s Word, may even seem to allow or support sinful behavior (1 Corinthians 6:12). Followers of Christ must know God’s Word thoroughly and beware of those who try to misuse Scripture in order to support their own opinions or satisfy their own selfish desires. The apostle Peter (one of Jesus’ closest disciples and a leader in the early church) speaks of those who twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16).
