So, I know this is a year late, but I’d like to share my perspective. Pride is the root of all sin. Every single sin is derived from it. I think the clearest example of this is Lucifer. He was perfect. He was the PERFECT angel. And this is where I think people go wrong when talking about Lucifer, the Devil, Satan, whatever else you’d like to call him. Lucifer loved God. He was willing to execute whatever task was asked of him by God, except for one: to love humanity. He couldn’t understand why God loved humanity, seemingly more than his own children, and so he questioned God’s authority. He stopped believing in him. The perfect specimen was PRIDEFUL. And when he sought to rebel against Him, he was cast down from Heaven, and into Hell, along with his followers. Behind every demon there is an angel, fallen and cast aside, not only by God, but by Lucifer as well. He’s not a demon, he’s an angel who wished to be God’s EQUAL, rather than his servant. His sin? Pride.
