However, the logical order of God’s decrees is debated. Although not discussed in this podcast, we understand that God’s decree to save is logically after his decree about the creation and fall. This is not a temporal distinction, but simply logical one.Related MessagesFollowing are sermons by Dr. Richard Caldwell that will help us gain a better grasp of these truths:The Marvelous Mind of God - Pts. 1 & 2Future Glory - Pts. 1, 2, & 3After GloryThe Road To EmmausSeated In The HeavensGlory To Jesus<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Why Did God Create Satan?<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> {"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@id":"https:\/\/straighttruth.net\/why-did-god-create-satan\/#arve-vimeo-52331720165fa070015307574531383","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/523317201?h=cdcfe90dff&dnt=1&app_id=122963&html5=1&title=1&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=0","name":"Why Did God Create Satan?","thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/straighttruth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/STP-S15-EP01-Did-God-Create-Satan-V2.jpg","uploadDate":"2021-03-18","description":"Why Did God Create Satan?"}<br> <br> <br> <br> Follow Us On Vimeo<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Listen to the Audio Podcast<br> <br> <br> Subscribe on iPhone<br> <br> Subscribe on Android<br> <br> Subscribe on Spotify<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Why Did God Create Satan?<br> Wasn’t Satan created good? If God knew that Satan would rebel, why did He create Him?

So as we think about this question and others like it, we need to know there are things we want to know that God has not chosen to reveal to us. Our God has told us that the things He has revealed belong to us, but the secret things belong to the Lord (Deut. 29:29). Those things that are secret He has chosen to keep to Himself.
