How Much Does God Love Us? (Part Two)
'Ready Answer' by Pat HigginsSatan's original sin began with a lack of faith in God's love for him, leading to doubt that spiraled into pride, self-exaltation, desire for power, vanity, violence, and rebellion. This doubt in God's love was at the root of his fall, as he thought he could do better, rejecting God's authority. Similarly, when we doubt God's love, we reveal a mindset that we know better than Him, weakening our faith and challenging His nature as love. Trusting in the depth of God's love helps us avoid self-reliance and mistrust, which lead to destruction. Satan's failure to believe in God's love led to his downfall, and we must not make the same mistake at this late hour in God's plan for us.
