Question… Why doesn’t God Forgive Satan and all those angels that rebelled with him like he does us?

Answer…

To begin with, For years I had wondered about that as well, Then the Lord revealed the answer to me. It has to do with two elements.

#1 – ETERNITY

Satan and Angels are eternal, They have a beginning (created), BUT unlike human beings they have no end (death). The Angels (now known as demons) that followed Satan in the sin of rebellion against God, that sin carried immediate eternal consequences BECAUSE it was done in eternity where time does not exist and no time factor for them to change their mind.

#2 TIME

Time was created for man. A person has a beginning and a ending they are born, they age, then die (their end of life).

God in his Grace (withholding what we do deserve = Hell) and Mercy (giving us what we do not deserve = Heaven/Salvation) gives us time to change our mind (Gr. Metanoia) for OUR UNBELIEF (the only sin that CANNOT be forgiven after death).and allows us THE TIME to put our trust in the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and his shed blood on the cross for our sins.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

In Conclusion:

After death a person’s ETERNAL STATE is sealed based upon if they did or did not place their faith alone in Christ payment for their sins.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

Satan and those Angels that rebelled against God, their sin is ETERNALLY PERMANENT and UNFORGIVABLE.
The moment that you do, YOU HAVE (at that second and forever) Everlasting Life which WILL NEVER be taken away no matter what.

John 10:28-29 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

-Christ DIED for you – Romans 5:8

-Christ PAID your sins in full – 2 Corinthians 5:21,1 Peter 2:24

– Christ AROSE as proof that God accepted Christ payment for your sins – 1 John 2:2, Matthew 28:6, 1 Peter 3:18

–BELIEVE (Trust In Completely) in Christ ALONE as the complete payment of sin for salvation – John 3:16, Acts 16:31, Ephesians 2:8,9

“For the wages(payment) of sin is death (eternal torment in hell); but the GIFT(salvation) of God is eternal life THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord”. Rom.6:23

IT IS THAT SIMPLE – THE GOSPEL TRUTH
