They were never meant to be cited and used wrongly or foolishly.

i. What Satan suggested was to suggest to the Lord Jesus that He ought to put God to the test.
ii. God had given angels to protect His children.
iii. If the Lord Jesus jumped from the pinnacle of the Temple the angels would come immediately to His rescue.
iv. This was something the Lord Jesus would never do!
