1 Thess 3:
5For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
6But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
7Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
If people can't lose their salvation, what then was Paul stressing about? If satan can't cause someone to lose their salvation, why would Paul be worried that satan may have tempted them? If the tempter can't cause anyone to lose their salvation, why does he tempt at all?
