"There is no neutral ground in the universe;
Every square inch, every split second, is claimed by God
and counter-claimed by Satan."
~C.S. Lewis
The temptation of Jesus teaches us all that no one is exempt. If Jesus Christ, God's beloved son and spirit-led could be tested by the devil, how much more we are fallible and weak to encounter such tests?
Jesus won the victory against the temptations by using the Word of God. If Jesus had to use the Word of God to win the victory, that really shows us the secret to His victory and that is to stand firm in the Truth, claim it and live by it.
It is our choice, for there is no neutral ground, a decision has to be made each and every single temptation. For or against God. When the time comes to make such decision, stand fast and remember
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them,
because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
~1 John 4:4
