    God is VICTOR

    Pt. 3

    God's love is glorified in this eternal covenant within the Godhead. Out of His internal love withing the Persons of the Godhead, God's amazing love is brought forth in creating all beings in order to bring his love to the elect angels and the elect saints in history. He loves all that He has made, but His love is especially set forth in these two groups of beings, one eternally sinless and the other sinless but saved by grace through the Son, Jesus Christ. I believe that when we all get to heaven and the last judgement has occurred, the saints will all the more realize the perfection of God and His eternal plan in creating the church to be gloried in. Romans 9:21-24. Eph 1:6 shows us that the apex of the glory of God is the glory of His grace in the church. Without the redeemed saints from sin, death, and the devil, the fullness of God's glory cannot be manifested. His glory would be imperfect. So, this is why allowing for sin to emerge in Satan and the angels that followed him and in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Even were able to fall into sin when Satan led them to do so God is ordaining the way for his total glorification which is includes the redeemed saints in Christ Jesus. So, here God is the Victor, now and forever, even in the fall of man and angels.

    I don't believe that Satan knew what God's eternal plan and covenant was (which was made before creation within the Godhead only). God did not reveal all of His plan or will to the angels. That is why Scripture says that angels long to look into the salvation of mankind to understand that was preached in the Gospel in 1 Peter 1:12. In the consummation of all things, both the saints and the elect angels will finally be able to understand together the fullness of God's eternal covenant and plan for creation and together we will glorify God all the more with our praise and worship.



    Satan truly thought he won out against God. But he is always proved wrong in all of his actions.
