"If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.” (John 15:18)
  
As recorded in Genesis, The Lord God said to the serpent, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel." (Genesis 3:15)

Enmity starts from Satan’s opposition towards God. Satan envies mankind to whom was given The Lord God’s special love.

No wonder Jesus was tempted at the moment when He started his teachings to the public, “Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil.” (Luke 4:1-2)
  
‘Was led by the Spirit into the desert’ also refers to the identity of the Messiah who is fearless of Satan’s temptation and prefers to meet head-on initiatively. To resist temptations, we must not  take it lightly, as the Word of God is the best ingredient to counter against temptations. 'One does not live by bread alone.’

'You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.', 'You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.’
  
Eve also answered the serpent, “It is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, 'You shall not eat it or even touch it, lest you die.'"

However she could not resist the serpent’s lies, as he said to her, “God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad."
  
Since Satan was originally an angel and the intelligence of mankind is far less in comparison, it is not necessary to enter into dialogue with the devil. Pilate already knew this principle and controverted the chief priests’ request. So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that he said, 'I am the King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." (John 19:21-22) Therefore, we should also respond to temptations, saying, “What the Word of God has said is what is said!”
