The Exchanged Life

I think that it's a topic discussed by theologians.

Read this article if you want to look into it:
Reformation Theology: Does it Make God a Moral Monster if He Ordains All that Comes to Pass?

Here's a quote from that article:

I'll be convicted of being blunt here, perhaps intolerably so in some eyes. But God Is Not Tormenting You!!! Satan does that. I hope it will encourage you to have someone tell you that you've got it all backwards. Scripture says that God is Love. That's certainly the opposite of torment.

Love still includes punishment. Just like you discipline your children so that they will grow up into better people, God disciplines us to become the same. The devil is only limited to what God lets him do. The devil is powerless, and only God is in command.
