Do Not Fear Satan but the God
One of the most important teachings of Christ Jesus is as follows:
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10)
It focuses on death and life as well as Satan and the God. It means that everything that is the most important for men is handled there.
Specifically, Satan might kill your body but your soul will go to the spirit world where you will be saved from Satan, but if you are a follower of Satan, your soul will fall into the hell after your death in the world to be destroyed by the God there.
Therefore, you need not to be afraid of Satan but have to be afraid of the God.
It also implies that those who believe in the God and Christ Jesus should be attacked by Satan in this world, but there is no need to be afraid of Satan, since it cannot harm their souls after their bodily death though it might kill them in this world or intimidate them with threat on their lives.
Believers in the God and Christ Jesus are enemies of Satan who controls the human world using temptation with money, wealth, and worldly power in addition to arousing various lusts.
This teaching is also based on the notion that men continue to live in the spirit world after death in this world. And believers in the God and Christ Jesus will receive happiness and blessings as well as eternal life in the spirit world.
However, not all men can live happily in the spirt world after bodily death. There is a war between the God and Satan. Christ Jesus came to this world to save men from Satan. So, Satan hates Christ Jesus and His followers. Put simply, you have to fight against Satan to be accepted in Heaven through the spirit world. When you read the Gospels, you have to realize this war between the God and Satan, which is another theme of the Gospels.
The knowledge that men can live in the afterlife after death in this world is not enough for men to be saved from the fear of death. What you have to believe is that only those who are against Satan can gain eternal life in the afterlife.

Mark 10, King James Version
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
