The Origin of Sin (Part 4):

In this episode, we explain the effects of sin as far as the overall great controversy is concerned. What Jesus had to do as a result of sin? How did Jesus differ from Adam? What caused Lucifer to become Satan? How does the sin problem affect us everyday? But there was one that chose to pervert this freedom. Sin originated with him, who, next to Christ, had been most honored of God, and who stood highest in power and glory among the inhabitants of Heaven. Before his fall, Lucifer was first of the covering cherubs, holy and undefiled. Thus saith the Lord God: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering.â?? â??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.â?? [Ezekiel 28:12-15, 17.] {GC88 493.3}
