Bible Question: we are told only mankind, of God's creation, has the priveledge of choice -was not Lucifer making a 'choice' when he rebeled against God? |
Bible Answer: Ezekiel 28:11-19 The anointed cherub who covers as he was called before he fell, did indeed make a choice. Verse 12 tells us that he had the seal of perfection, was full of wisdom, and he was perfect in beauty. Verse 15 tells us that he was blameless until he sinned. Verse 17 tells us that pride was in his heart because of his beauty, and he corrupted his wisdom. Therefore, he did make a choice. All created beings have the power of choice. If God made robots that could only say "I love you", and could do no wrong, is that true love? How then would the power of God be manifested? The power of God, and more importantly, the love of God, is manifested when wretched men and women respond to His grace and choose to obey Him. Jesus said, "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love." John 15:10 To quote an old song, "To know Him is to love Him" And to love Him, is to obey Him. Don't get too curious about Satan. Satan means Deceiver. He wants nothing more than to reel you in, and devour you. Resist him. 1 Peter 5:8,9 |
