God’s Protection Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 24, 2023

The devil took this passage to entice Jesus to jump off the pinnacle. The devil used or misused this text as though it provides unconditional security in any and every circumstance. Jesus own experience shows that even faithful ones suffer, have emotional anguish and physical pain.

Scripture teaches us that God protects those who love him and will help them in their trouble. The devil ...read more
