Romans 8:38-39 - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Before the Earth was formed, God had been born. He created various forms of life and part of those forms were archangels. These archangels were powerful and assisted God in many duties. They were Lucifer, Gabriel, Michael and Raphael. Of these four, Lucifer became rebellious.
He was jealous of God and desired to be in charge of the heavens. He convinced a host of angels to turn against God. War was waged in the heavens and God, Gabriel, Michael and Raphael defeated the uprising. Lucifer and his army were banished away.
Time passed and God created the Earth. He created all forms of life through The Word - who is Jesus Christ. In time, He created Adam and Eve. They became victims to the temptation of Lucifer. He was responsible for convincing Eve to eat the fruit of The Tree of Life.
God allowed Lucifer to wander and be mischievous in the newly created world. As time passed, many people sinned and rebelled against God. The time came for a show down. Lucifer would finally have his chance to defeat God.
In a manger, God was born as a child into the world - Jesus Christ. He was raised in a simple life, the human son of a carpenter. He learned to be respectful, hard working and worshipful as a child of God - a Jew.
As a man, Jesus was called to serve His purpose as The Messiah from the prophecies of The Old Testament. He was baptized and then went into the desert for forty days and nights. Lucifer came to Jesus because he knew him from the place before the earth was formed. He saw the hunger and suffering Jesus was undergoing. Lucifer offered Him a life of peace and comfort.
Lucifer had an opportunity to be the ruler over God. Jesus announced His knowledge, faith and trust in The Father. Lucifer then left after realizing that there was no way he could influence the Son of God.
God did something He had promised in prophecy time and time again - He sent a Savior. The Messiah carried out His entire purpose of His earthly life. His church has been established and fortified. All scriptures have been condensed into the modern Holy Bible. The teachings are shared by churches, ministries and many individuals around the world.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
