Why is it ironic when a person willfully submits to the devil’s will?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Whereas the Spirit of Christ is typified by his submission to the will of the Father, the spirit of Lucifer was captured in his rebellion against God. Again, it is ironic that many who refuse to submit to the will of our Father in Heaven bow so submissively to the will of the father of darkness” (McConkie, Millet, and Top, Doctrinal Commentary, 4:27–28).
