All things (including us as humans) were first created spiritually, before physically:
"By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." - Hebrews 11:3
Not only were we spirits before we were born on Earth, but our spirits are the literal offspring of God. He is the father of our spirits, which is why we call Him our Heavenly Father.
Then we were blessed to be born on the earth that God created and received a physical body to house our spirits. God endowed each of us with our individual agency. The main purpose for God creating man is that God wants each one of us to become a partaker of his divine nature !. We are here on earth to bring heaven to earth. So we as humans are more progressed than holy angels as we are God's chosen spirits !.
We can surmise from 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 that we, as God’s children who accept Jesus as lord and savior, will be given a higher position than the angels. We’re not only created in God’s image, but redeemed by Christ (Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:9; Luke 1:68; Ephesians 1:7). Angels are not created in God’s image and are not redeemed by Christ (Hebrews 1:14; 2:16). Also, God sends His angels to serve His saints those who are to inherit eternal life (Hebrews 1:14; Psalm 34:7; Psalm 91:11).
Long Before God created man, God's plan of salvation was explained and discussed in "councils in heaven," followed by the War in Heaven where Satan rebelled against the plan of Heavenly Father. In my opinion, Satan's rebellion is connected to him rejecting God's plan of salvation for mankind. It's because only mankind (the chosen spirits) will have the opportunity to be partakers of God's divine nature and bring heaven to earth !.

Satan fell because of pride. He desired to be God, not to be a servant of God and his saints. Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes Satan as an exceedingly beautiful angel. Satan was likely the highest of all angels, the most beautiful of all of God's creations, but he was not content in his position. Instead, Satan desired to essentially “kick God off His throne” and take over the rule of the universe. That's why Satan was cast out of heaven. Lucifer and all the angels were continually in God’s presence and had knowledge of the glory of God. The Bible says that the severity of God’s judgment varies according to how much knowledge a person possesses (Luke 12:48).
The difference between us and Satan regarding the approach of being like God is that We are in the process of becoming like God through the one true God but Satan wanted to be like God separated from the one true God !.
