Yet satan is the very fact that the full extent of heavenly bliss is something you have not experienced. He is the knowledge that there is something glorious that you completely lack. He says you have a lack to fill until you struggle to be full. He says you have a dire need until you are completely filled with greed. But he will never be content with how much glory you can get. And no amount of goods you have will ever make him quit. He says you've not achieved it yet. He says you've not accomplished it. He only points to what you lack. And he shows contempt for all you have until it’s obvious that he is accusing you and making evil threats. Why should we listen to this idea that we have not gained the ultimate? Is he an angel of holy light that inspires us to reach for the greatest heights? Is he responsible for all you’ve gained? Does he sustain our lives? The only thing we need to complete our happiness is to know that God our Savior lives and to know that He has the strength. For if our Savior God is very strong and also loves us very much, then there is nothing that can destroy us, so we know that we will live. Thus, satan is the fact that you have not seen God in heaven yet- you’ve not seen the Love that He can give, you’ve not seen how strong that He is. See 3 John 11 Thus, satan blasphemes God. For he says that God is not glorious. He says that God does not exist. Or else he says that God has no strength to help. He says that God does not do what’s just. He says that God does not even care for us. He says that you have sinned too much. Or he says that your faith in God is not enough. So he leads the world into utter darkness, and he compels them to sin out of ignorance.
