Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
This means do not put yourself in a dangerous position on purpose and then say God save me.
So we do not pick up poisonous snakes on purpose and say no harm will come to us, for then God is not obligated to save us.
If something happens by accident God will save us.

Right! And if something happens by accident or by crime against us, sometimes, God miraculously rescues us. Other times, He allows us to suffer bodily damage. But we can still rejoice, as we have an eternal home in heaven, and heaven is the best place to live.
