How do you really know God is who they say he is? How well do you really know him? Yeah I’m sure you’ve read his book, but do you really expect to get an unbiased report on someone by reading their book? Who knew God best? Satan. Satan was God’s #1 angle and he rejected God. You accept God via ignorance and Satan rejected God via knowledge.
How do you know if you knew God the way Satan knows him, that you wouldn’t reject him as well?
God created all his intelligent beings with freewill (choice) Why? Love. True love can not be forced .... God knows that ... we know that. One can not force one to love another.
Who knew God best? Jesus (who is not a created being)
The definition of sin is that given in the Word of God; it is “the transgression of the law;” it is the outworking of a principle at war with the great law of love which is the foundation of the divine government.
Knowledge comes in many forms sight, touch, written, verbal, personal experiences, experiences of others and spiritual experiences. Many of mankind's experiences are written about in His Word ... one can believe them ... or not.
From Ezekiel 28 ... regarding Satan
16By the vastness of your trade (lies),
you were filled with violence, and you sinned (violated the law of Gods divine government).
So I drove you in disgrace
from the mountain of God,
and I banished you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.
17Your heart grew proud of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor;
so I cast you to the earth;
Satan has knowledge but his pride corrupted his wisdom.
Satan is a created being. No created thing can supplant its Creator.
Knowledge is not enough ... falls short without wisdom from the Lord of which we should seek constantly.
1 John 4:10
Contemporary English Version
Real love isn't our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven.
You accept God via ignorance
1 Corinthians 2:14
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Believe or not ... even so He loves you more than your mind can even comprehend.
His love .... it's quite a spiritual experience.
