BIBLE STUDY – LUKE CHAPTER FOUR

 

 

Introduction

 

Verses 1-2

Christ, though God still needed to prepare for His ministry in fasting and prayer. And I’ve noticed that if you truly fast, you don’t feel hungry until you finish fasting. This was also the case with Christ Jesus; He became hungry when He had ended His fasting.

 

Also, while fasting, He was being tempted, but after the fast, a bigger temptation came. So, we must be careful to remain in the Spirit even after a spiritual exercise.

 

Verses 3-4

The flesh will always want you to prove who you are to people, which is not necessary. So, you must resist it, and live by the word, which is all in all. And let your life speak for you, for the word of God says that by their fruits you will know them.

 

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them – Matthew 7:20 (KJV).

 

Verses 5-8

We’re not to worship or serve any other god but God Almighty. In this chapter, the enemy said the truth here; Adam gave him the authority over the kingdoms of the world. And the enemy is still using this to lure many people to worship him. However, the truth remains, as Christ said, we should worship no other god but God Almighty.                                                                                                                                          

 

Verses 9-12

Here, the enemy used the Word of God to tempt Christ. This is still the tactics of the enemy! And the scripture says in 2 Timothy 2:15 that we should study the word of God to show ourselves approved of God rightly dividing the word of truth. This enables you to overcome the temptation to sin against the Lord. So, don’t tempt God and don’t use the word to justify your disobedience.

 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth – 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV). Read more...
