The devil “was a murderer from the
beginning, not holding to the truth, for
there is no truth in him.…he is a liar and
the father of lies” John 8:44. He is a thief
that “comes only to steal and kill and
destroy” John 10:10. He is a deceiver:
“Satan himself masquerades as an angel
of light” 2 Cor.11:14.

This is the tempter who tries to cause
us to fall. In the spiritual realm, he is the
bully bent on harassing and tormenting
us. Just as bullies often have their little
pack of supporters, the devil has his as
well. They are called demons or devils.
They are all fallen angels.

Satan is the one who is our enemy.
He wants to deceive and destroy us and
steal from us everything God wants to
give us. He aims to destroy our character
and our opportunities to become all God
wants us to be. He aspires to destroy our
relationship with God. And, he started his
quest with Adam and Eve.
