Salvation describes the deliverance by God for those who believe in him. It is the saving of the soul from sin (and its consequences) through Gods will and grace. Though it takes different forms in every religion, the principle is still the same, often emphasising the necessity of both good works, repentance, and asceticism, as well as divine intervention (in this case the action being the grace of God). If assuming that Christ is the full truth, then the only way to gain access to God after death is through the salvation given by the Christian God. Jesus himself has indicated that a person must hear the word, believe it, repent of past sins, and be willing to confess faith before others, be baptized into Christ for the remission of sins, and then continue to live a faithful life throughout this physical life if we are to go to heaven.

The devil at the dawn of Christianity bore little resemblance to the ruler of hell, the antichrist and agent of evil that he is known as in present day. Satan makes few overt or implied appearances in the Old Testament. For the important role of God’s greatest adversary, early Christians had to flesh out great parts of Satan’s story in order to develop him into his present, fearsome persona. The Christian story of the Devil is heavily influenced by earlier Greek mythology, and early Christian writings about the Devil co-opted local mythology in order to gain new converts and discredit popular pagan beliefs.

In the story “A Little Omniscience Goes a Long Way” neither Satan nor God have free will. God has control over Satan; however, God hints to the idea that there is possibly some higher being above him that may or may not be controlling him. Initially, Satan doesn’t necessarily believe that him and the angels have any type of control, but God points out that nobody is really forcing them to make the choices they make or chaining them down to make those choices, therefore, they do have some type of control albeit not the type they’d prefer. When Satan states that he and a few of the angels want to have control over their lives, God claims that they do have control and, apparently, just as much as God himself has over his own life. Additionally,

The safe guarding tendency that I choose was aggression. According to the authors of Theories of Personality, J. Feist, G.J. Feist, and Roberts (2013) says, “Safeguarding through aggression may take the form of depreciation, accusation, or self-accusation” (pg. 86). Out of the three deprecation stood out to me the most. Comparing a tendency in the Bible, the story of Joseph and his brother’s behavior towards him was a sign of aggression. They did not appreciate the love that their father showed Joseph. They hated Joseph and they hated the attention that their father gave to him. The dreams Joseph had and interpreted his brothers did not appreciate them. They had to do whatever it took to get rid of Joseph. Joseph brothers were jealous and

I 'm fully aware that there are schools of thought within Christendom that emphatically deny this possibility. This is done by painstakingly twisting each and every one of the many, many Bible verses that plainly imply that it is possible to fall away. I will now list just a few of the Scriptures that teach that it is possible to fall away and cease to be "in Christ". It shows that there are also many ways to do this - from trying to be justified by the law, to forsaking the commandment of Jesus to walk in love, to unbelief, to flagrant acts of willful sin.

Our Lord warned his disciples to prepare for persecution to avoid anything that would give an advantage to their enemies, there could be no interferance with worldly concerns or even the appearance of selfishness and evil at all measures. Christ foretold troubles, so that the troubles would not be a surprise, to His disciples, but that they might "affirm and bring to light their faith!"

Satan's pride further constrains him. Because he is able to prove his freedom via dissent, and because he has ignored the fact that his free will comes from God, Satan thinks (or at least tells the angels before his own fall) that all heavenly beings including God are "Equally free" (5.792). Focused on his own freedom, Satan cannot understand that God has even more freedom than he. When confronted with the hegemonic power of the Son, then, Satan believes that "new Laws" have been imposed, that God has changed the rules (5.679-80). But this is not a new constraint; it is merely a new formulation of the Godhead.

To further put man at ease, in a step by step explanation, Paul brings into light many circumstances that may occur in a believers’ life as well it was with him in some instances stated in Romans 8:35-39. Even though all or some of these things may happen in a believer’s life there is nothing to be fear in losing God’s love “For the Lord is my shepherd […]” (Psalm 23:1-6).

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of sound mind.” ( 2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV).

It is generally not this possibility that is feared, because fearing an afterlife, would be like fearing life. In both cases what the life will hold is unknown, but to fear the future of either without reason would be irrational. The more common reason people fear death is that they fear the possibility of becoming nothing. This kind of death seems troubling as an

The worry is excessive and can result in behavioral compulsions such as, but not limited to, unnecessary trips to confession, continual reassurance, over practice of purifying and cleansing rituals, self-sacrificial acts, avoiding

“You might say, “God could stop Satan if He wanted to. Therefore, the devil only does what God allows Him to do.” That’s not true. That’s a religious tradition that will render you passive and prey to the devil.”

Take a deep look at Romans 8:31-39. Don't just read it, but absorb what it is saying.

“Satan is a portrait of rebellion gone wrong, but not of the wrongs of rebellion” (Bryson). Cromwell later diminished, and Charles II was bestowed to King of England, while Satan is still trying to destroy all of God’s creations, and diminish their good moral, and qualities.

We should not be afraid or fearful because God is the only one to be feared. God is the only one worthy to be feared he is the only one that has the
