knows how you feel and what you are thinking. Lucifer was created by God, he was a very special angel that shinned brighter than the morning sun. He was given a very high position to serve in the presence of God. According to Sharefaith Church (2016) Lucifer became proud of his wisdom, beauty, ability, perfection, and yet he wanted more; he wanted to be worshiped like God (para. 8). He wanted to command with all authority and make decisions. He was not created to do so, God did not create sin in him, he created it within himself. God discovered sin in the heart of this angel. According to Middleton Bible Church (2016) Lucifer became the “DEVIL” means “one who accuse, one who slanders” (papa. 28). He told the other angels Gods plan to throw him in the lake of fire, and told them “how can a loving God send His creature into a lake of fire forever”, and “God is unfair” (para. 30). He accused God of being unloving and unfair (para. 30). One third of the angels made their decision in their hearts and God casted them into the fire along with Lucifer. The fallen angels were then called demons, Satan’s demons.
The story of Adam and Eve started on the 6th day the earth was created. God created them in a beautiful garden called “Eden”. He gave them all the fruits and vegetables they could possibly eat and one tree that they couldn’t eat from. According to the Holy Bible NSV (2001) God commanded the man, saying “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in that day that you eat of it you shall surely die (p. 2). The devil entered into a serpent and tempted Eve. Eve told him she was told by God not to eat from that tree. According to The Holy Bible ESV (2001) The serpent said to eve,” You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (p. 2). The temptation caused her to sin and Eve fell when she ate from the tree of knowledge, she took it to Adam to eat, he ate it and sinned for the first time. This changed all humanity for all on earth. As soon as they ate from the tree they had knowledge of themselves being naked. God looked for Adam and Eve in the garden and gave them a chance to acknowledge their sin but they hid from him and sinned again. God gave Adam and Eve a punishment. He also gave the serpent a punishment by turning him into a snake so all men will crush his heard eternally. God showed his love to Adam and Eve by sacrificing an animal, the snake represents future sacrifices and forgiveness by God. Even then He loved us so much. God then covered them with clothes made from the animals, this again shows His love for us. He is covering up their sin with clothes. God told them they would die if they ate from the tree, and they did. They would no longer live forever or in the Garden of Eden.
Free will is something God created. If there wasn’t free will within us, we would be robots. God wants us to have a choice to love him unconditionally like He loves us unconditionally. With free will comes sin, some people use free will for good things and some use it to make bad decisions. Free will also shapes a person’s life and as you grow and mature you should use it towards good things in life, to acknowledge and love God. Satan created evil and people have free will which gives them the option to do evil. God loves us all and wants us to choose whether or not we are on His side or Satan’s side. He gives you the free will to choose to love him or not to love him. Without sin there would be no option. Which side are you on? I’m on Gods side through good and bad. His free will allows you to choose Him as your Lord and Savior, if you don’t chose Him then you will choose to go to hell for eternity. Everyone is given the same opportunity on where they will end up.
The practice of obedience to the law “Ten Commandment’s” are made to show God that we love him and have faith in him by sacrificing sin and keeping Gods covenant.
The Ten Commandments were given to us by God to keep order in the world because God knows the future and he knows that there is so much sin in this world. According to The Holy Bible ESV (2001) Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin” (p. 42). By keeping his order, we will be better sons and daughters to him. Know that God has created the Ten Commandments this means the world knows the difference between good and bad, right and wrong. The world did not keep their word by following the Ten Commandments. We are all fallen by Adam and Eve and it is impossible to keep all the Commandments. God loved us so much he sent his only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Again he proved to us that he loves us so
much.
There cannot be good without evil. Satan is still lurking around this world trying to gather more demons on his side to try and rule all God’s creatures. God gave us free will just like Lucifer and the fallen angels. They made a decision based off of free will and choose to disobey God and were casted into Hell for eternity. In conclusion, I believe that God is all powerful because he created the angles, earth, man and women and there are a lot of stories in the Bible that prove it. He is all knowing because he knows what we are thinking in our hearts and saw that in Lucifer and his fallen angles, had evil in their hearts. God is all good because he created us, created the Ten Commandments to keep order and test us and sent his only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He allows evil to exist because of free will, He gives everyone a choice to obey his order. God will test you and allow evil things to happen, if your walk towards him and keep faith in him, He will know that you are still a chosen child and that you truly believe in Him. Without sin, He would never know that. If something bad happens to you and you turn away from him then He will know that you do not have faith in him and you will not be a chosen child. I think he allows evil to test our love, people create evil, not God.
