Only!

When Jesus was being tempted by Satan in the Judean wilderness He fended off every attempt of Satan by quoting scripture. The last recorded temptation involved Satan, the prince of this world, showing Jesus all of the kingdoms of earth and trying to get Jesus to worship him by promising all of it to Jesus. Jesus responds by quoting Deuteronomy, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only’.”

Serve Him ONLY. Christ knew that in order to fulfill His mission he would absolutely without fail serve the Father and Him only. If God said it, then Jesus trusts it and it doesn’t matter what Satan or anybody else says. What a difference between the second Adam and the first! And every son of the first Adam that has ever lived since!! We tend to take Satan up on that deal by serving God on Sunday and the world the rest of the week. So often Christians are afraid to serve God ONLY because that would mean we would have to be politically incorrect. Stand up for the Truth of God as it is written in His Bible. We have a real hard time trusting what God tells us.
