The devil's first words to Jesus were "if you are the Son of God." God had just called Him exactly that.
We're in Luke 4 today talking about the enemy. Who he is, how he actually
operates, and why his opening move is almost always an attack on identity. He isn't trying to get you to doubt that God exists. He's trying to get you to
prove something God already settled, because once you're busy proving, he can get you to do almost anything. This one is meant to give you a battle plan, not fear.
