LET THE BIBLE SPEAK.

HOW JESUS USED THE WORD OF GOD TO OVERCOME SATAN . Roger D. Campbell The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by the devil is recorded in Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12,13 and Luke 4:1-13. The Bible says that Jesus “was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15).

Non-saints get down in the dumps, but so do Christians. Non-saints die, but so do Christians. The list above could be extended indefinitely, right? What, then, is so great about being a Christian?
