Lucifer- the bright shining one, the anointed cherub, the highest of God's created order, was created as a doxology, to praise God. Scripture states that he was perfect in all his ways until iniquity was found in him. The iniquity found in him was that he wanted to be like the most High God.
When God created Adam to rule over his earthly creation, he, Lucifer, saw his chance to become like the most High and devised a plan to usurp the authority of Adam and become the ruler of this world.
As I understand Psalm 103:20-21, the angels were created with self-determination. So they had the ability to choose to obey or rebel, Jude-6, but God did not provide salvation for them. Jesus, God's only begotten, was made a little lower that the angels that he might taste death for man but not the angels and therefore provide salvation for us.
God has said that sin is "missing the mark", a deficiency, a lacking in man, not an addition to. So, sin is not living up to God's standard. So could we say that Satan is self-made by not living up to God's standard, through his self-determination?
