Don't claim God’s promises if they don’t apply.

Jesus did not flippantly claim God’s promises when and where they don’t apply.

Matthew 4:5-7 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 saying to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.'" 7 Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"

Do we ignore Jesus's example by flippantly claiming God’s promises when and where they don’t apply?
