The Devil and Satan – Who or What are They?

The Devil and Satan – Who or What are They?

Introduction

All Christians believe in a devil. The devil and Satan are both mentioned many times in the New Testament — but what are they? Most Christians believe that the devil is an angel called Lucifer (another name for him is satan). They believe this angel was the head of all creation, beautiful and powerful, until he became proud. Because of this sin, God threw this evil angel from heaven to earth. Now the devil wanders around the earth deceiving people. God will destroy him in the end, but even now God allows the devil to tempt and deceive people. If Christians give in to the devil, God will not save them.

We want to have a look at what the Bible says - how much of this is true, how much can we find in the scriptures?

The Bible says that the reason Jesus came was to ‘destroy the works of the devil’. Read 1 John 3:8. So it is important that we understand what the Bible devil is so that we can understand the true gospel. We will look at the words devil and satan separately: firstly at what or who satan is in both the Old and New Testaments, then we will consider the devil.
