Context influenced Lucifer to fall

The Context

1.  Lucifer more crafty than all the rest
2.  He had a position of authority soon in his life
3.  More glorious than all the rest
4.  Having a mutable mind
5.  Created to serve God and a lesser being, mankind.

Scripture talks about being tempted to specific sins in certain contexts.
Proverbs 30:7

“Two things I ask of you, Lord;
    do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
    give me neither poverty nor riches,
    but give me only my daily bread.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
    and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
    and so dishonor the name of my God."

The temptation to steal is greater in the context of being poor.   The temptation to disown God is greater when you have too much.  

Temptations to specific sins in certain contexts can also be seen when Satan tempts Christ in the wilderness and then when the trust of Christ is high and strong then Satan moves the context to on top of a high point of the temple to get Christ to trust to much by testing God.

So in this context what was Satan tempted to do?

He was tempted to have a wrong view of himself in relation to God and others or get conceited.

1 Timothy 3:6

He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.

Here we have a recent convert elevated to a position of authority to soon in his life.  In this context the temptation to get conceited is great.
