What scripture does Jesus quote in order to answer Satan?
How do we know we only worship God?
To whom or what do we serve?

What constitutes worship in the case as Jesus has answered Satan?
Jer. 25:6 Do not go after other gods to serve and worship them, or provoke me to anger with the work of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’
Rom 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
If Christ did worship Satan, what would it look like in this case? What was Satan actually demanding of the Lord?
