Why did Satan become a fallen angel? How does this explain his current activity in the world?
-
Satan was created as an archangel of worship. He was made and adorned with precious stones and was beautiful. But he wants to be worshipped, like God, thus he rebelled against God. When Satan rebelled against God, he was thrown down from heaven and condemned as fallen angel. Thus, he is now against all born-again believers. He wants to trap Christians in sins and bondage to sins, so that believers cannot follow God. Jesus refers to Satan when he said that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. However, we who trusted in Christ can overcome and be victorious against Satan through Christ.

Satan became a fallen angel, because he was full pride and basically thought he could out do God.
-
Lucifer became the fallen angel Satan, when he, though blessed by God with great power and position, became proud and wanted to be God. He led approximately one-third of the angels into rebellion against God.
This explains why we sense opposing forces, whether covert or overt, in our quest to live as Christians. We are tempted by the suggestions and lies sown by Satan. Sometimes we even see uncanny manifestations of this spiritual world, such as false miracles and demon possession. -
It was his pride that got to him. He said “I will be like the Most High”. He fell like a lightning bolt. He has been allowed by God to reign in this fallen world for a short time, but will be cast into the Lake of Fire.

Crazy when we thing of the battles that are going on all around us and the things that we can’t seem to explain that are taking place in the world
