Luke 4:9-12
9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’ 11 and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” 12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
Blindly trusting God by purposefully doing dangerous things is really just tempting Him. Even though God promises to protect us, it is by His will and not ours, so we do not create circumstances and expect Him to intervene. This is what Satan tried to lure Jesus into doing. So he lures us with such devices as well if we do not know and understand His word.
