Grace Alone (sola gratia)

Too many people today believe that human beings are basically good; and if we are saved, it is because of our own good decision to receive the Jesus who is offered to us.
But when we introduce a standard by which God has to save all, or at least give everyone an equal chance of being saved; that is not grace!
If God were motivated only by what is right or fair, everyone would be condemned and spend eternity in hell. (paraphrased)

Withstanding Temptation From Satan

Jesus withstood the temptation of Satan not through His powers of reason which certainly surpassed those of the tempter. Jesus did not resort to supernatural power to escape this trial, though He had that power as well. Neither did He ask God for some special sign or angelic intervention to tell Him what He was to say to Satan. It was far simpler than that. Jesus knew the Bible, stood on it, and used it forcefully.
