Day 1- JESUS PASSED THE TEST

Read Matthew 4:1-11
What are the three ways Jesus was tempted?
How did Jesus respond?
It is important to understand that Jesus was tempted in the same way that Adam and Eve were tempted. They failed the test and He passed it. Adam and Eve ate the fruit because it was good for food, they believed Satan when he twisted God’s words and told a lie, and they wanted power by being wise like God. Jesus, on the other hand, trusted God to provide the best food for Him, He didn’t listen to Satan twist God’s truth, and He wasn’t tempted by the “power” that Satan offered Him. Jesus was the only human on earth to never sin.
Read 2 Corinthians 5:21
Why is it important that Jesus did not sin?

I PROMISE YOU

God promises that He will one day put an end to all evil. He has not yet done this because He wants people to know Him so He allows sin and evil for a little while. In the future, His wrath will destroy Satan and all evil. Jesus saves you from experiencing God’s wrath when it happens. The great news is there will be no more evil, and because of Jesus you will get to live life without it.

Day 5- THE TREE OF LIFE UNGUARDED

In the beginning, man literally lived with God, walked with God, and saw Him daily. Man sinned and could no longer live with God this way. God always had a plan to solve this problem: Jesus. He sent His Son because He loves you and wants you to live and walk with Him forever. The end of the Bible gives us a hint at what forever with Him will be like.
Read Revelation 22:1-4
What will living with God forever be like? What tree is present?
Read Ephesians 2:8
How are you saved? Is there anything you can do to be saved?
In Genesis 3, we learned that Adam and Eve believed Satan’s lie and they were disobedient to the Lord’s instruction. They sinned and became separated from God. Through His Son, God gave us a gift – eternal life. We cannot do anything to earn it.
God loves us so much that He gave His Son so we could live forever with Him.
Read John 14:16. Memorize this verse today.
