“For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment” (Jas. 2:13 ESV).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I always thought that God won’t let Satan repent because he had committed some act of sin too bad to go backwards (like Judas). Not sure where i got that idea. This verse seems to add another layer to it; God doesn’t have mercy on Satan because he shows no mercy to others.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s probably some of both. We know that “to whom much is given, much is required” (Lk. 12:48), and those who sin after having a certain amount of knowledge and experience may find themselves in a position of having no further means of obtaining forgiveness (Heb. 10:26). Any sin can be an “unpardonable sin” if it is committed by someone so close to God, as Satan once was, that he knew, or should have known better. But it is always God’s call as to when that happens because only God really knows everything in the heart.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

But Satan’s merciless judgment and prosecution of others certainly played a huge role in the merciless judgment he had received from God.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
