As a good Christian, should you really be that worried about Demons from Hell who are out to get you, considering who’s got your back? Not being a Christian I probably am wrong about this, but, unless your unlucky enough to be like St. Anthony[!], I thought that demonic spiritual beings could only effect you as much as God allowed them[and you]to.
I haven’t heard the radio drama (even though, for the record, I love radio dramas) — I’ve only read the book — but I think the idea is not to warn Christians about their possible fate so much as to remind them of the supernatural aspects of the Christian worldview that are easy to trivialize. It comes with a reminder that even though Christians cannot be ultimately and finally claimed by evil, we can be drawn to it, tempted by it, and suffer the consequences of it.
I suppose the message is a kind of veiled encouragement to take one’s Christian life seriously and deliberately. It also serves as a warning that most paths to evil are not sudden — no one wakes up one morning with the intent to destroy their lives with addiction, infidelity, or other dramatic, life-destroying actions — but gradual, as a series of slightly more dangerous steps that put us ever further from where we ought to be.
