Satan And Temptations To Self-gratification. Last update on 06/23/2014 Read more Bible texts on: https://net.bible.org/ Dear Brother Krishna, 1 Thessalonian 3:5 He lives to devour people! 1 Peter 5:8 As the ruler of this world.... John 12:31 Ephesians 2:2 Satan uses the three attractions of the world – the lust of the flesh (gratification of desires and living by one's feelings), the lust of the eyes (coveting, greed, desire for more), and the boastful pride of life (self-centred living)... 1 John 2:16 as an enticement for us to do evil. 1 Corinthians 2:11 Ephesians 6:11 so we will gratify our lusts and selfish desires. In satan's initial temptation of mankind he used all three worldly avenues of attraction. 1 John 2:16 In viewing the forbidden tree, Eve noticed that it was 'good for food' (lust of the flesh), 'a delight to the eyes' (lust of the eyes), and 'desirable to make one wise' (pride of life). Eve became deceived to temptation, and chose to disobey God. Adam so yielded to temptation and wilfully chose to sin. (Genesis 3:6) In satan's temptation of Job (Job 1:8 – 2:7) satan appealed to Job's self-centred feelings and desire for self-gratification by taking away Job's possessions, his children and servants, his health, and his notable position of prestige among his contemporaries. All of these trials were aimed at the lust of the flesh, the Job 23:10-12 I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion. 24 42:1-6 In satan's initial temptation of Jesus, he tempted our Lord through the tree attractions of the world. Satan tempted Jesus through hunger and challenged Him to turn stones into bread (lust of the flesh), asked Jesus to throw Himself off the temple pride of life), and promised Jesus the kingdoms of the world (lust of the eyes). However, Jesus overcame this temptation BY OBEYING God and His Word.
