Episode notes
Satan's Tactic
- Satan challenges God's trustworthiness, not His authority or existence.
- He questions God's love by suggesting that God withholds good things.
The True Test
- The true test is not simply believing in God, but belonging to Him through obedience.
- This involves trusting His love, even when His commands seem restrictive.
God's Heartbreak
- God's words, "Who told you that you were naked?", reveal His heartbreak, not anger.
- He sees the pain caused by their choice and offers remedies, not curses.
