Will God Keep Me Safe From Satan?

Answer:

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38–39)

1 Peter 5:8

Hebrews 13:5-6

Ephesians 6:10-18

It does seem like Satan and his angels might be able to do us harm, doesn’t it, Nathan? And the Bible says that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for us! We are told to flee from the devil—and we should do that when we know we are being tempted to do wrong things. Also, God promises His children, those who believe and trust in Jesus and live for Him, that He will never leave us. God’s Word makes it clear in Romans 8 that when we trust in Christ, He is with us for eternity and no one can take that away from us. He is our helper and we should not fear!

Sometimes, even though you know all of this is true, you still wonder, “What can I do when I still don’t feel safe?” Well, bad things still happen on this earth, and God knew we might feel unsafe and scared. The Bible helps us with this, too! It tells us we must be prepared. We must put on the armor of God! No, it is not real metal armor, but something even better! It is the truth of His Word. Reading the Bible and having faith that what it says is true will keep us prepared for anything that happens here on earth. Because we will know that as His children, nothing will ever separate us from His love and one day we will spend all of eternity with Him in a perfect world.
