4 | why satan wasn't dealt with right away? | Rom 16:20 | Polycarps | 242802 | ||
God wants and needs mankind to choose His ways. Yet man has been rebellious from the first just as Satan rebelled. God must know that we would never rebel after receiving eternal life. There must never be another Satan! So God is using Satan to show us just where wickedness, lies, and rebellion lead--pain, suffering, debauchery, hate, greed, selfishness, etc etc. He allows Satan to broadcast his lies and try to tempt us into evil in order for us to know--for ALL ETERNITY that sin causes every one of us and all in the world, pain, regrets, sorrow, guilt, horror, etc. And that, without God, we're nothing. We're like a small town boxer who would never be ready to take on a world champion by only sparring with the local farm boys. We must face the strongest enemy of good in order to know and choose all that is good; and to know, once for all time, that sin is the cause of all suffering and unhappiness. God has even allowed Satan to blind the entire world in order to show us just how weak and insignificant we are without Him. 2 Cor. 4:4 And no one can become 'unblinded' unless God chooses to 'unblind' him! John 5:44, 65 |
