He will keep us from the evil one.

Dearest saints, the ungodly are the reverse of the righteous, both in character and condition, they are led by the counsel of the wicked, in the way of sinners, to the seat of the scornful; they have no delight in the law of God and are easily driven to and fro by every wind of temptation. Our Lord says :"Be Holy and I am Holy" (1 Peter 1:16) and i will leave you with the following verses that our dear Lord Jesus Christ pray to our Heavenly Father :

"I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth". (John 17: 9-17)
