Whole Bible Instruction: Live on the Word

That nobody from The Word of God Ministries and http://www.wholebible.com is at it again with a continuing series on practical application of the Law as a valid lifestyle and discipleship method for believers. Bruce S. Bertram presents another guideline from the Bible on how to apply the Bible, this one called Live on the Word. Jesus in Matthew 4 gives us a way to answer critics who only use part of the Bible, responding with "it is also written" that man does not live by bread alone. We live by every Word from the mouth of God.

Each response is saying essentially the same thing in three different ways. On the surface what looks like three different temptations have the same goal. The Satan tries to get Jesus to abandon God's will and do His own thing (in reality the Satan's own thing). They may have been in a desert but the scene recalls the Garden of Eden, when Satan also used part of God's Word to misrepresent God's Word. Jesus responds as Eve (and Adam) should have -- "It is also written." We still get hammered with the same sort of temptations on a regular basis, and the defense used by the Master works just as well now as it did then.
