III. “You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me”
2119
Tempting God consists in putting his goodness and almighty power to the test by
word or deed. Thus Satan tried to induce Jesus to throw himself down from the
Temple and, by this gesture, force God to act.49 Jesus opposed Satan
with the word of God: “You shall not put the LORD your God to the
test.” 50 The challenge contained in such tempting of God wounds
the respect and trust we owe our Creator and Lord. It always harbors doubt
about his love, his providence, and his power.51
