Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. Jesus ate nothing all that time and became very hungry. (NLT) -Luke 4:1-2 Just as Jesus was tempted by the devil, we too are constantly tempted. Temptation in our lives may not be so obvious because we may be unaware that it’s harming us. It could simply be a lack of appreciation. Sometimes we take things for granted when we feel entitled to something. While the devil wants you to feel entitled, our loving God wants you to count your blessings.

Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the Law of Moses?  Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. (NLT) -Galatians 3:2 Christians believe that entrance into Heaven is not gained through acts of good or by keeping commandments (Law of Moses). Instead, when you make the decision to believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, the Holy Spirit enters your heart. This decision gives you eternal life.

You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” -John 4:22-24 Download Bible Verses app here: http://bit.ly/1eXCj7J
