Three Words Satan Hates

Three Words Satan Hates

Jesus didn’t face Satan in a strong moment. He didn’t meet him after a meal, or after a miracle, or when surrounded by followers. No, in Matthew chapter 4, Jesus was alone, hungry, and physically weak. He had fasted 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness. It was just Him, the desert, and the devil.

And still, Satan lost.

Why? Because Jesus had a weapon. And He used it every time.

That weapon? The Word of God.

The three words that Satan hates? “It is written.”

The Three Words Satan Hates: “It Is Written”

Right out of the gate, Satan tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread. After all, Jesus was starving. But Jesus didn’t argue. He didn’t fight, and He didn’t shout. He simply replied, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4:4).

That hit Satan hard. But he didn’t give up.

Next, Satan took Jesus to the top of the temple and told Him to jump. This time, Satan even quoted Scripture! But Jesus answered again with those three words Satan hates: “It is written: ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test’” (Matthew 4:7).

One more time, Satan tried to tempt Jesus. He showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and offered them in exchange for worship. Jesus had enough. He said, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’” (Matthew 4:10).

Every time Jesus faced temptation, He didn’t argue with the devil. He didn’t panic. Instead, He stood on truth. He declared the living Word of God—and Satan fled.

Why the Three Words Satan Hates Still Work Today

Those same three words Satan hates still work today. Why? Because God’s Word hasn’t changed. Hebrews 4:12 says the Word is “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.” The Bible isn’t just words on a page. It’s power in your mouth.

When you speak God’s Word in faith, darkness flees. When temptation comes, don’t debate it. Don’t try to out-think the enemy. Just respond the way Jesus did: “It is written.”

Feeling unloved? Say: “Nothing can separate me from the love of God” (Romans 8:39).

Feeling weak? Say: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

Feeling attacked? Say: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17).

Satan fears a believer who knows the Word and speaks it. He doesn’t care if you own a Bible. He runs when you use it.

Let the Word Fight for You

In Matthew 4, Jesus teaches us how to fight: speak the Word. Don’t lean on your feelings. Don’t try to outsmart temptation. Just open your Bible, find what God says, and speak it out loud.

Those three words Satan hates are your weapon too. Use them. Speak them. Live by them.

Don’t just know the Word. Stand on it. And watch the enemy run every time.

The Greatest Act of Love

The Greatest Act of Love

Calvary: A Place of Suffering and Love

Matthew 27:33 tells us that Jesus was led to a place called Golgotha, which means “the place of the skull.” This place, also known as Calvary, was nothing special—just a barren hill outside of Jerusalem. Yet, this was where the greatest act of love in human history took place.

The name Calvary comes from the Latin word “calvaria,” which means skull. Even today, if you look at the hillside, you can see the shape of a skull in the rock. This place was not random. It was chosen for a purpose.

Jesus, the Lamb of God, was taken just outside the city to be sacrificed—just like the lambs that were brought through the Sheep Gate to the temple. Undeniably, He became the final sacrifice for sin, once and for all.

Jesus Chose to Suffer for Us

Many people think that Jesus was a victim of circumstance, but that’s not true. Jesus chose to go to Calvary. He willingly laid down His life for us because He loves us more than we can ever imagine.

John 10:18 tells us that Jesus said, “No one takes my life from me. I lay it down on my own accord.” He could have called down angels to stop His suffering, but He didn’t. Instead, He took the full weight of our sin upon Himself.

At Calvary, He endured:

• Mocking and humiliation from the very people He came to save.

• Severe physical pain as He was beaten, whipped, and nailed to a cross.

• Separation from the Father as He bore the sins of the world.

Why? Because this was the greatest act of love.

The Lamb of God at Calvary

The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Lamb of God (John 1:29). In the Old Testament, people had to sacrifice animals to cover their sins, but those sacrifices were only temporary.

At Calvary, Jesus became the final sacrifice. His blood didn’t just cover our sins—it washed them away forever!

• Hebrews 9:22 – “Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.”

• 1 Peter 1:18-19 – “You were redeemed… with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”

When Jesus died at Calvary, He made a way for us to be saved. His sacrifice was enough.

Will You Accept This Love?

The greatest act of love happened at Calvary. Jesus suffered so we could be forgiven, free, and have eternal life.

But love is a choice. In essence, Jesus already chose to love you—will you choose to love Him back?

If you haven’t given your life to Jesus, don’t wait. Come to the cross and receive His love today.
