One Simple Rule
Q. Why did God not judge Satan when he first sinned ? It wasn’t man’s sin. As a result of God not doing that Satan was allowed to tempt mankind, who failed. Now multiplied millions will plunge into Hell. I do not understand. Thanks.
A. You’re giving Satan too much credit. Multiplied millions will plunge into hell, as you say. But each and every one will do so because of their refusal to accept the remedy God provided for their sins. Satan was the tempter, it’s true, but Adam and Eve made the choice to disobey the only rule God gave them.
Everyone who winds up in Hell will have made the choice to disobey the one rule God gave us as well.
Then they asked Him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
He replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one He has sent (John 6:28-29).
They will have chosen not to believe in Him.
