The Temptation of Christ The Son of God underwent temptation to defeat the devil and set us free.
Temptation is the devil's principal weapon for destroying people.
Temptation is anything that seduces you away from obedience to God's revealed will into sin. Westminster Shorter Catechism Questions 39 and 14. Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. The tempter works constantly to move God's people away from God's law and into sin. The devil needed a special victory tempting Jesus Christ.
