How do we know that we are kept safe from the evil one?
Answered in 1 source
Believers are assured of their safety from the evil one through Jesus' prayer for their protection and the promise of God's power.
In John 17:15, Jesus prays, 'I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.' This reflects the assurance that God will guard His people amidst the trials and tribulations of life. The theological grounding for this assurance lies in the sovereignty of God, where He actively preserves His children in faith. This promise extends to all believers as Jesus continues to intercede for them, ensuring that their faith will not fail. Hence, it is not dependent upon their strength or resolve but rather on Christ's steadfast intercession and the Father's sovereign will.
