Even the angels had the ability to fall away

The angels of God that fell from heaven saw and basked in His Glory. They were experiencing everlasting Peace. They were experiencing everlasting joy praising Him. Yet, some of them had the ability to rebel and fall away. They saw and experienced Him directly yet they Fell away!! If the angels of God who has seen God have the ability to fall away, then what makes man who has not yet seen God think they do not have the ability to fall away from Grace? Are we that prideful to think even after accepting Jesus Christ and walking as a Christian that we do not have the ability to become corrupted and deceived when in the spiritual realm a third of His holy angels had rebelled?

Jude 1:3-6 (AMP)Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith which was once for all [a]handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered [b]verbally to the holy people of God].4 For certain men have crept in stealthily [[c]gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).5 Now I want to remind you, though you were fully informed once for all, that though the Lord [at one time] delivered a people out of the land of Egypt, He subsequently destroyed those [of them] who did not believe [who refused to adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him].6 And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place--these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day

2 Peter 2:20-22(AMP)For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through [the full, personal] knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again become entangled in them and are overcome, their last condition is worse [for them] than the first.21For never to have obtained a [full, personal] knowledge of the way of righteousness would have been better for them than, having obtained [such knowledge], to turn back from the holy commandment which was [verbally] delivered to them.22There has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and, The sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire.

Keep guard of your hearts brethren. The devil and his demons may not be the only enemy. Sometimes, the worse enemy to ourselves may be the person you are looking in the mirror. The devil fell due to pride. Do not fall from your own pride.
