What does the Bible say about the devil?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible describes the devil as a slanderer and an adversary, created by God, who seeks to oppose Him and lead people away from Christ.

The devil, also known as Satan, is described in Scripture as a real, personal being who opposes God and His people. His primary role is as an adversary, manifested through deceit and slander, aimed at turning individuals away from the truth of Jesus Christ. Scriptures like Ezekiel 28:12-17 depict him as a created being who was once beautiful and full of wisdom until pride led to his fall. His tactics include twisting the Word of God, as seen in Genesis with Eve, and he continues to masquerade as an 'angel of light' to deceive many (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). His existence and actions remind believers of the constant spiritual warfare they face, urging them to rely on God’s truth and power.
