The Priority of the God
The mission of the mankind is to clearly and correctly understand the mission the God gave to mankind from the beginning of the history of the mankind.
And, in this context, it is very kind that Christ Jesus told men what to do.
Lu:10:27: And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.But what does it mean to love the God? From the beginning, this teaching assumes that men have the ability to know the God and love somebody.
However, men mostly spontaneously love themselves and money but not the God. So, for men to love the God, they must be taught to love the God by somebody with authority. Therefore, the first step for men to live right life or correct life is to see authority in Christ Jesus.
In the human history, the God has never appeared before men in a manner where men can easily see the God. But the God sent certain prophets to a certain tribe or sent angels or holy spirits to certain men of certain religious groups. In other word, the God sent Abraham, Moses and other prophets to the Jewish people and Christ Jesus or His Son to some Jewish people, etc. who became the early followers of Christ Jesus in addition to Muhammad.
And, if the reason why the God created the mankind is to make them love the God but the mankind do not love the God sufficiently, it is naturally expected that the God will abandon and destroy the mankind someday.
However, it does not mean that Satan defeats the God. When all the men die, there will be no room for Satan to survive by occupying minds of the men. So, it is possible that the God abandons and destroys the mankind only to exterminate Satan with the mankind. But if the mankind duly find their mission and love God, they may be allowed to further survive and Satan will be defeated. So, in any way, Satan will be lost with men or without men.
And the God might dislike to see the mankind fully contaminated by Satan. The God might like the mankind to perish with Satan. And from the beginning, the target of the God might be Satan, and the mankind may be just involved in this process where the God destroys Satan. In other word, salvation of the mankind may be the secondary matter for the God, and the priority of the God may lie in defeating Satan.
In any way, it seems to be reasonable that the God loves a man when he loves the God more than Satan.

M't:9:23: And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
M't:9:24: He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
M't:9:25: But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
