WHAT SATAN CANNOT DO?
The Bible outlines several things that Satan cannot do, emphasizing God's power and sovereignty. Here are some key points, along with related verses:
1. **Satan Cannot Overcome God's Power**: Satan is powerful, but God's power is far greater.
- **1 John 4:4**: "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
2. **Satan Cannot Separate Believers from God's Love**: No power, including Satan, can separate believers from the love of God.
- **Romans 8:38-39**: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons...will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
3. **Satan Cannot Destroy the Church**: Jesus promised that the church will withstand all attacks from Satan.
- **Matthew 16:18**: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."
4. **Satan Cannot Control Believers**: Those who belong to God are protected, and Satan cannot claim them.
- **1 John 5:18**: "We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them."
5. **Satan Cannot Tempt Beyond Limits**: While Satan can tempt, God limits his power and provides a way out for believers.
- **1 Corinthians 10:13**: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear."
6. **Satan Cannot Prevail Against God's Plan**: Ultimately, God's plan and purposes will prevail, and Satan cannot thwart them.
- **Job 42:2**: "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted."
7. **Satan Cannot Accuse Successfully**: Satan is known as the accuser, but his accusations cannot stand against believers justified by Christ.
- **Revelation 12:10-11**: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters...has been hurled down."
These verses offer reassurance and hope, highlighting that while Satan may be a formidable adversary, he is ultimately limited by God's sovereignty and the protection given to believers.
