Ezekiel 28:12 (ESV)
“Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD:
“You were the signet of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
The “signet of perfection” is the image of God. Satan was the epitome of a created creature achieving that blessed state, yet he was not satisfied with just His image, but seeks to be God. This is the end goal of pride which leads to destruction.
The path to the image of God is in following the way of His Son, reborn in the flesh of man and into the life of God in Christ Jesus.
