Can Satan Steal My Salvation?
1) Direct Answer
No. If you are truly born again and sealed with the Holy Ghost, Satan cannot steal your salvation. He may tempt, accuse, and harass, but he cannot break God’s Seal or pluck you out of God’s hand.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The Bible says, “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand… no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand” (John 10:28–29).
- “In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption” (Ephesians 1:13–14). That Seal holds till the day of redemption.
- “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? … Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” (Romans 8:33–39). Nothing can.
- Jesus said deception would be so strong that, “if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:24). Now notice, that shows it is not possible to finally deceive the elect.
- We are “kept by the power of God through faith” (1 Peter 1:5), and He is “able to keep you from falling” (Jude 24).
- “All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me… and this is the Father’s will… that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing” (John 6:37–39).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Salvation is not a fragile thing you hold by your own grip; it is Eternal Life—God’s own Life placed in you. If Satan could steal it, then Satan could overtake God’s work and end Eternal Life, which is impossible.
- The Holy Spirit is God’s Seal—His ownership mark. Hell can rage outside, but it cannot cross the Blood or break God’s Seal.
- Now notice, there is a difference between a church profession and the new birth. A mere profession can be shaken and lost; but the truly born-again, the elect, cannot be stolen. The Bible makes that distinction clear.
- Satan can rob your joy, your peace, your testimony—if you let him—but not your soul that is kept by God. So resist the devil, stay under the Blood, put on the whole armor of God, and walk in the Spirit.
4) Reinforcing Statement
You see, the Bride is secure in Christ. Hold fast to the Word, keep clean, and remember: the same God who saved you is the One who keeps you.

...saved because you feel like that you're saved. If I... If somebody'd say, "I know I'm saved, because I had a chill run through me, and so forth." That's not why I'm saved. Satan could whip me around a stump anywhere, and he can you too upon your feelings. That's right. But when I walk back and say, THUS SAITH THE LORD, my faith is built on the Word of God. And he can't whip that away. Remember. Jesus had all the qualities of the Father in Him. Do you believe that? Sure He did. All the fine gifts of God was in Chri...

...he believes, he must be a Christian and walk in the way that he says he is. See, attribute! The apple is not the tree; it's the attribute of the tree. And because you lie, steal, cheat, and smoke, and do everything, and call yourself a Christian, is because you are not born again. That's right. That shows that that's the kind of a life you bear. Jesus said, "By their fruits you shall know them," see. And if you do those things, the Bible said, "If you love the world, or the things of the world, the love of God isn...
