A six year old asked her family why God created Satan, if he if he knew that Satan would lead many souls to hell?
The family didn’t really have a good answer.
That night the Lord answered her, and here is what she recited that Jesus said:
My people, I created the angels, man, and the universe, and everything that’s in it. I found everything was good of itself and gives greater glory to Me. The angels and man I created in My image, and I gave each a soul and a free will. If I did not give you a choice to serve Me or not, then you would only exist without any higher decision-making power. I knew that even angels could possibly refuse to serve Me. If I hesitated to create angels because they might abuse their free will, then I would never have desired to create them in the first place. If you had a choice to have children or not, you also face the possibility that they could turn out to be evil killers. But you have children out of love hoping that by your influence you could bring them up as loving contributors to society. This is the same reason that I created angels with free will so they could choose to love Me and serve Me for My glory. Every act of creation is an act of love, in sharing life, whether it be an angel or human. I did not create Satan to cause evil. It was Satan’s refusal to serve Me that caused his casting out of Heaven into hell. It has been his influence to try and get other souls to refuse My service. It has caused souls to also be cast into hell. I created every soul out of love, and only sin stands between us. Repent of your sins and show your love for Me and your neighbors and you will enjoy the Heaven that I meant every soul to attain.
