Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”

At first during the temptations Jesus is fairly pleasant in dealing with Satan’s temptations, but each time Jesus rebukes him with something stronger until Satan gives in.

We need to be persistent in the way we deal with getting rid of sin in our lives just as Jesus was here; getting stronger each time.

Jesus reminds the evil one we should only ever be praising and worshiping our Creator God.

It is no small thing this was the first commandment – that we should worship God alone.
