No, Satan can’t grab us unless we give him an opening.

I was referring mainly to Newman’s Apologia Pro Vita Sua. And there’s some good stuff in the books of G. K. Chesterton.

If satan could ‘grab’ any Born from Above Christian then satan would be more powerful than God. Think, for the sake of your immortal soul, THINK! Salvation is ONLY in God’s hands. Once you profess anything even close to what Peter professed in Matthew 16:16, GOD’S Spirit takes over and you are hide in Christ. The degree to which you grow in His Grace and His Knowledge depends then upon how much you turn yourself over to His transforming you. But that is not about Salvation it is about what shows up at the Bema Seat in Heaven. IF once saved you7 could be unsaved your salcation guarantee would be based on your abilities, and the response to such blasphemy is God Forbid. If you have to earn ANYTHING in the Salvation calculation then it is no longer by Grace ... THINK!
