How Jesus Defeated Temptation: “It Is Written” | Matthew 4 Bible Study

What happens when the enemy attacks the very thing God has already spoken over you?

In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn walks through Matthew chapter 4 and the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness.

Jesus answered every temptation with, “It is written.” He did not rely on His feelings, argue with Satan, or accept a shortcut that required compromise. He stood firmly on the Word of God.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness
• How Satan questioned what God had already declared
• The difference between trusting God and testing God
• How Scripture can be quoted but still misused
• Why Jesus refused a crown without the cross
• The call to repentance and the beginning of Jesus’ ministry
• What it means to leave our “nets” and follow Him
• Why true ministry must remain centered on Jesus and serving others

Supporting Scriptures include Deuteronomy 8:2–3, Genesis 3:1, Psalm 91, James 1:13, Matthew 26:53, and Matthew 27:40–42. All Scripture is read from the NKJV.
