A symbol of
victory over Satan, THE CROSS
Earth is a part of the creation of God, so why don’t we recognize God here on Earth? Free will is the answer to this question. On earth, we have the free will to as we please. If we reflect evil, then a creation of God is shown as an imperfection. The goal of evil is to convince something that it is more perfect than something else, even though both products are made of the same essential building blocks. This may not seem like a big deal, however it is the foundation of racism from which evil flows. Satan is a creation of God. God did not make evil. Satan chose to view his building blocks as better than anything else that God had created. And seeing himself as being so good, Satan over stepped his boundaries when he tried to tell God what to do. This is the reason Satan can't be reconciled with to gain forgiveness. Even when Jesus Christ was about to be crucified he said, "Father not my will be done". Satan has no desire to do the will of God, so his behavior is a reflection of his own choice and the reason his punishment consists of being isolated. Satan hates free will; he desires to tell you exactly what to do and if it were up to him only Hell would exist. We desire to be remembered at our best. God created heaven first, and when Satan chose to do his will he was thrown out of heaven. If a creation of God is not in Heaven and not on Earth, then it is in Hell. The Bible speaks of the Day of Judgment for those who have fallen. Those who have not accepted Jesus Christ are in Hell. Don’t be discouraged by this, since it could easily be concluded that the numbers in Hell would be greater than the numbers in Heaven. If this were the case, then Jesus Christ would not have been VICTORIOUS at Calvary.
Numbers are important; therefore because of what Christ did on the cross those in Heaven will forever more out number those in Hell. Jesus Christ is responsible for the victory in the battle for the Angels and Spirits over the choice between Heaven and Hell. Since it is not by works that we are saved, those that have fallen are not capable of the works required to defeat Satan. Those that have fallen are not good enough, since perfection is the requirement of Heaven. Only those Angels and spirits that choose to obey the authority of God concerning his commands will see what is good. It is by our faith in Christ; he is the only one that has been a true reflection of the fruits of the spirit, which God describes as good. In the Bible, Jesus spoke of false preachers. How do we know when we see one? The warning is meant for those doing the preaching. Does one who works more deserve more? If a preacher is doing work for himself, then he or she is concerned about heavenly rewards. If he or she goes into heaven thinking they should be served for their service, then this would be an example of a false teacher. The parable of the wedding banquet speaks of this issue. If one enters heaven with the wrong spirit, then he or she will be thrown out. How could this be possible? If all you have to do is accept Jesus Christ to get into heaven, then that opens the door to the possibility of people getting in with the wrong fruits of the spirit. It is much more difficult to serve others in Jesus name, since the money is not based on a tithe do to the fact that it requires more time. Jesus is continuing to serve today through the gift of his holy spirit.
