Why doesn't God just destroy Satan? Moments that Matter, Christian Questions
Satan’s influence is and has been everywhere. In 2 Corinthians 4, the Apostle Paul described unbelievers as blinded by Satan and therefore incapable of seeing the Gospel. In Jesus’ interpretation of the parable of the Sower, he interpreted the birds eating the seed by the roadside as Satan taking the Gospel from them as well.
In a recent podcast we talked about the obvious questions these scriptures raise. Who is really in charge? Why hasn’t God stopped or diminished Satan’s reach, especially regarding the Gospel? The answers are simple. God IS in charge. Period. He hasn’t thwarted Satan’s influence because it is not yet time for that part of His Plan.

Let’s expand on these simple answers. Satan’s rebellion actually serves God in two ways: 1st, Satan’s continued influence serves as an undeniable and unavoidable example of what rebellion against God brings. 2nd, Satan’s continued influence serves as the basis for testing every one of God’s created beings. All will ultimately choose to stay loyal to God’s righteousness or follow Satan’s path to destruction.
