Hebrews 4:15
‘For we do not have a high priest who is
unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but we have one who has
been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet was without sin.’
So indeed, Jesus, peace be upon him,
was tempted. However, Jesus is a faithful
servant and messenger of God. Thus,
never did he give into those
temptations, that’s why we find him
without sin.
Nevertheless, Jesus, peace be upon him,
was not only tempted, he was tempted
in every way, just as we are tempted in
every way. And ‘God can NEVER be
tempted’.
Upon being tempted by the devil, Jesus,
upon him peace says:
Matthew 4:10
“Away from me, Satan! For it is written:
‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him

Here Jesus, peace be upon him, firmly
states ‘Worship the Lord your God, and
serve him only’. Jesus (AS) says God is
to be worshiped ALONE.
John 17:3
"Now this is eternal life: that they may

Again, one God and Jesus, peace be upon
him, a messenger sent from God to
humanity.
Corinthians 8:5-6
"For even if there are so-called gods,
whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed
there are many "gods" and many "lords"),
yet for us there is but one God, the Father,
from whom all things came and for whom
we live."
