This is a very important issue for the Christian, to answer this question we must return to the foundations of human existence in a fallen state, the most fundamental thing of all is that God is God, that is, he rules the whole universe without having to make much effort, with full control of all his creatures and all his actions. On the other side we have Satan, a fallen angel, and his army of sumissive demons, who are also fallen angels; Unlike the situation of fallen human beings, there is no provision for salvation for them, but they play an important role in God’s plan, especially with regard to the sanctification of their saved people. Its nature is totally bad and cannot change or change. Remove. It may depend entirely on acting according to its nature. It’s very important.
The good news is that God completely and absolutely controls Satan, so we do not live in a world where evil is totally out of control, but in a world in which it is controlled. and ask yourself if “this picture I have in front of me is an image of absolute evil or evil under control” is a good exercise for us. The evidence speaks for itself. The fundamental truth is that Satan cannot do anything without God allowing him to do so.
- Now we come to the question: why does God allow Satan to do all sorts of things?The answer? Because there’s a lot of work in this world.
- What we call “time” is precious time.
- This is true for the disbeliever and the believer.
- Should we be saved in time.
- Sanctified in time?Except in the last step.
- When we see Christ.
- Isn’t Satan involved in our salvation?except to derail him if possible.
- But he is very involved in our sanctification.
- We are sanctified primarily by trials and afflictions.
- There are times when God.
- According to his perfect wisdom.
- Gives Satan access to the Christian.
- Not punishment.
- But to fulfill his plan to sanctify his children in preparation for heaven.
- We wouldn’t.
- But God’s ways are not ours.
- In all this.
- He sets the limits of what Satan can do.
- If we read Job 1 and 2.
- We will see as clearly as this is the case.
Therefore, Sometimes God gives Satan an incredible amount of freedom, within the limits he establishes himself; Satan cannot overcome them, but he will take advantage of the scope given to him by his hatred of Christians and all that is good. act against its nature; on the contrary, you should be allowed to follow your natural course. His compulsively wicked nature prevents him from saying, “If I do this, I will help advance God’s work. So I’m not going to do it? He serves God, not in joyful obedience, but under the torment of coertion. This will continue until God no longer has a role for him. He is then thrown into the ‘lake of fire’ (Revelation 20. 10).
Until then, Satan will have access [1] to the body, mind, property, reputation, marriage, family, business, and other things of the Christian when God gives him access, but not an extra drop. God is God.
“And shall the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, keep your hearts and thoughts in Jesus Christ?(Philippians 4. 7).
