THE ORIGIN OF SIN

 

ADAM WAS NOT THE FIRST TO SIN AGAINST GOD

Sin is an acronym that means Satan, Imparted Nature. Sin came out of rebellion. Satan rebelled against God in eternity past with one-third of God's angel on his side. According to Ezekiel 28, Lucifer was a perfect angel that served God in eternity past; he was created with beauty and glory. He once had access to God's throne. (Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth, and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezek 28:14–15 Kjv)

Lucifer was a cherub and an angel of God. God gave him authority to control most of the things He had created, including other angels of lower classes. Ezekiel 28:15 reveals that iniquity was found in Lucifer, and he is the first being to sin against God. (How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations? For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high Isah. 14:12-14)

The first sin ever committed was the sin of rebellion. Lucifer originated sin through his rebellion acts. He was not satisfied with the position God gave him. He wanted complete control of all the sons of God (angels) and to be like the Most High God! Lucifer was not alone in this quest; he was able to convince one-third of all the angels God created, and there was a great battle in heaven between Lucifer and the angels that follow him and other angels who remain loyal to their creator.

The battle was so fierce that the Most High God drove him and his followers out of heaven. Lucifer and one-third of the angels of God form the kingdom of darkness. They are the present-day principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in the heavenly places, and wicked spirits ruling the earth today.
