I wonder whether, after all that Christians hope for has come to pass, we will somehow save the lost, in the Spirit of Jesus, perhaps through an immense, humbling and scarring sacrifice of love. It seems in keeping with God's character, and God's will for us is to take on his character and the likeness of his Son. But this is speculation, the truth is hidden so not something we need to be concerned about. It makes no difference to us anyway, because if we desire to be like God then we desire to have his love for the world and share in his work, so we start now irrespective of what the future holds.

A bit of reading of John 8:44 would help:
[John 8:44 NKJV] 44 "You are of [your] father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from (greek εκ) his own [resources], for he is a liar and the father of it."

How do you know satan cannot, in the infinity of future time, develop a desire to repent and humble Himself and admire God's mercy and grace.
This text describes Satan's condition at the time Jesus was speaking. It is not reasonable to assume this condition must appertain endlessly into the future.

How is it that a human who in the present time has no desire for God and goodness and holiness, how is it they can later become a believer? If a human can, what says a demon cannot repent and submit to God. I occasionally advise satan and demons that they should take to heart the mercy God has shown toward men like Saul of Tarsus and consider giving up his evil and instead seek mercy from our Father in heaven. I think that if satan did do that, God is wise enough to devise a new path for his rehabilitation.
