A Biblical view of Satan

​

In today’s world, many dismiss Satan as a myth or a mere symbol of evil, but the Bible presents him as a real, personal being. Jesus Christ Himself, the Creator, spoke of Satan as an actual adversary, not just an impersonal force (see Matthew 4:1-10, Luke 10:18). Scripture teaches that Satan is a fallen angel, created good but corrupted by pride (Ezekiel 28:13-18; Isaiah 14:12-15). He is not God’s equal; he lacks God’s power, knowledge, and presence, and his defeat is certain through Christ’s work on the cross (Colossians 2:14-15, Revelation 20:10).

 

Satan’s power is real but limited. He is called the “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4), blinding minds and opposing God’s people, but he can only act within the boundaries God allows (Job 1–2). His tactics include deception, temptation, and accusation—twisting Scripture, spreading false doctrine, and tempting believers to sin or despair. Yet, Christians need not fear him. The Bible assures us that “greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4), and that if we resist the devil, he will flee (James 4:7).

 

The Christian’s defense is to cling to God’s Word, remain alert, and put on the “full armor of God” (Ephesians 6:11-18). For those outside of Christ, the warning is sobering: apart from God’s rescue, we remain under Satan’s influence (John 8:44; 2 Timothy 2:26). But Christ offers freedom and victory to all who turn to Him. In the end, Satan’s power is temporary, and his defeat is guaranteed. Our hope and security rest in Christ alone.
