In Matthew 4 we read a vivid account of Satan tempting Jesus. Matthew records Christ victory over Satan and temptation and provides for us this great historical account. We are to rest in Christ victory over Satan and sin, if you are in Christ, His victory is our victory.

The apostle John tells us,

Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
