How do we know the devil is a real adversary?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes the devil as a real adversary who actively seeks to destroy the faith of believers.

The reality of the devil as an adversary is clearly presented in Scripture. In 1 Peter 5:8, the apostle uses the metaphor of a roaring lion to depict the devil's predatory nature. He actively seeks to devour believers and disrupt their faith. Moreover, the history depicted in the book of Job illustrates the devil's malicious intent and the permission he has from God to test humanity. This acknowledgment of the devil's existence emphasizes the need for Christians to be vigilant and grounded in faith to withstand his attacks.
