But drops of grief can never repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do!

At The Cross

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

To sum this up ,

There's a profound distinction between God's Character , Loving and Just and Satan's Accusations against God as a tyrant

[jarsofclay]

As we go through life, let's pause to Reflect on Why sin was permitted and What does the presence of sin reveal about the nature of our choices and the unfolding divine plan?

[jarsofclay]

Without freedom of choice, his obedience would not have been voluntary, but forced. There could have been no development of character. Such a course would have been contrary to God's plan in dealing with the inhabitants of other worlds. It would have been unworthy of man as an intelligent being, and would have sustained Satan's charge of God's arbitrary rule.

[jarsofclay]

God might have created man without the power to transgress His law; He might have withheld the hand of Adam from touching the forbidden fruit; but in that case man would have been, not a free moral agent, but a mere automaton.

[jarsofclay]

Our first parents, though created innocent and holy, were not placed beyond the possibility of wrongdoing. God made them free moral agents, capable of appreciating the wisdom and benevolence of His character and the justice of His requirements, and with full liberty to yield or to withhold obedience .

[jarsofclay]

Had he been immediately blotted out of existence, some would have served God from fear rather than from love. The influence of the deceiver would not have been fully destroyed, nor would the spirit of rebellion have been utterly eradicated

[jarsofclay]

Even when he was cast out of heaven, Infinite Wisdom did not destroy Satan. Since only the service of love can be acceptable to God, the allegiance of His creatures must rest upon a conviction of His justice and benevolence. The inhabitants of heaven and of the worlds, being unprepared to comprehend the nature or consequences of sin, could not then have seen the justice of God in the destruction of Satan.

[jarsofclay]

Satan's Rebellion highlights how God, in His response, showcases His own free will and decisive authority. Despite the knowledge of Satan's impending defiance, God allowed time for choice. When Satan rejected God's authority, He was Then Cast out of Heaven. Clearly shows God's respect for our Individual Choices

[jarsofclay]

God desires from all His creatures the service of Love -Service that springs from an appreciation of His Character . He takes no pleasure in a forced obedience ;and to all He grants freedom of will ,that they may render Him Voluntarily Service

[jarsofclay]

Ever Wondered about the profound gift of free will? Does God's boundless love manifest in the very freedom He grants us? (Thread)
