How do we know Jesus' temptation was real?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' temptation was real as evidenced by His physical fasting for forty days, which highlights His genuine human experience.

Some may question the reality of Jesus' temptation given His divine nature. However, the intensity of fasting for forty days illustrates the genuine struggle He faced. This real experience of hunger and weakness underscores the truth that Christ faced real trials and temptations just like us. As Hebrews 2:18 states, 'For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted,' confirming that Jesus understands our weaknesses.
