Luke 4:4 records Jesus’ response to Satan’s first temptation in the wilderness, where He declares, “It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” By quoting Deuteronomy 8:3, Jesus affirms that physical sustenance is not enough — true life comes from complete dependence on and obedience to […]
“I am crucified with Christ” is found in Galatians 2:20, where the Apostle Paul declares that his old self has been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer he who lives but Christ who lives in him.
