From what I understand from the scriptures so far is that Satans goal is to be like God, this is what caused the fall of Satan and the angelic race, when he said he will be like the most high, and of the human race through Adam when Eve was deceaved into eating the fruit with the temptation to be like God, this caused our seperation from God and as such evil came into existance in the human race.
Without God there are 2 ways we can function with regards to making decisions and actions etc, with a positive and negative outcome, positive being good and negative being bad, but there is a big difference between human good and devine good.
Human good in Gods eyes is like filthy garments, because he can see the heart of man, and we all make decisions that ultimately benefit self in one way or another, even good decisions, as in society today can be seen as evil in Gods eyes because of the motives behind the action, thats why we are told to walk by means of the spirit so we can produce devine good and bear fruits, fruit cant be produced from a dead tree and we are all dead in the flesh when we are born again and saved.
From what I see in society today is ever growing manifestations of Satans nature increasing throughout the world, nearly everyone wants to be a little God, be worshiped by someone, thinking they are great, people thinking they are better than others because of wealth, physicality, the way they look, and their social stature, rebelious in nature, rebelious music, anti-God TV and movies, people lying to get ahead, cursing people, accusing people, judging people, murdering with the tongue, gossip, slander, all kinds of evil actions etc are a result of the fall and being seperated from God.
On a personal side note I look at all of this as the perfect way to set people up for the ultimate deceiver, who is said will come will all tricks and will fool many people into thinking he is God, we are trained to worship idols now, pop idol, x factor, movie stars etc, would be the perfect enterance for the anti Christ.
Just thank God he has found a way to release us from this deception and bring us back to him.
May all the glory go to the one true God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
