8. Satan and
Demons
A powerful angel
named Lucifer sinned through pride and rebelled
against God. He is also
known
as the Serpent, the Devil,
the Evil One, and Satan. Satan, fell along with other fallen
angels,
called demons. They pursue
their own glory and oppose
everything that is of God. They keep unbelievers enslaved to
sin,
blinded to the gospel,
and some they possess with total control.
They are always deceiving, tempting, accusing, and seeking to destroy the
followers of God. Satan was the originator of sin
and the deceiver of Adam and Eve.
Through their sin, mankind was subjected to Satan’s power. Satan and his demons now have temporary
dominion in the world
until their final judgment.
