Satan’s increasing influence in the world is allowed to provide an atmosphere in
which to prove ourselves. While he causes havoc today, Satan’s final destiny was
fixed by Jesus Christ through His Atonement and the Resurrection. The devil will
not triumph. Even now he must operate within the bounds set by the Lord. He
cannot take away any blessing that has been earned. He cannot alter character
that has been woven from righteous decisions. He has no power to destroy the
eternal bonds forged in a holy temple between a husband, wife, and children. He
cannot quench true faith. He cannot take away your testimony. Yes, these things
can be lost by succumbing to his temptations. But he has no power in and of
himself to destroy them.
Richard G. Scott, “The Transforming Power of Faith and Character,” Ensign, Nov 2010, 43–46
