My dear friend,
Have you ever wondered why God didn’t destroy Satan before he had a chance to corrupt our world with sin? I know I have. Consider this statement, “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. Had he been immediately blotted out of existence, some would have served God from fear rather than from love.” (Patriarchs and Prophets page 42) Our God is not a God of fear but a God of love. (see 1 John 4:8 and 2 Timothy 1:7) That is why God allows Satan to continue his evil course.
