IV. Satan
Satan is a person rather than a personification of evil () and he with his demons opposes all that is true and godly by blinding the world to the gospel (, ), tempting saints to do evil (; ), and warring against the Son of God (; ).
1. Satan is a person rather than a personification of evil ()
Some view The devil, Satan, as a concept
He is far more than that.
He is a created being
He is finite, yet was once an angel so can manifest in physical or spiritual realm
He is called by various names in the Bible, and all indicate a person
Satan (meaning “adversary”—
The devil (i.e., “slanderer”—
Lucifer ()
The serpent/Dragon (; )
The actions taken by Satan and references to him describe an actual being.
Notice that the Lord Jesus Christ recognized him as a person.
Jesus referred to him frequently by name
;
Jesus called him “the prince of this world”
; ;
The apostle Paul called Satan:
the “god of this world”
the “prince of the power of the air” ()
The apostle John said,
“The whole world is under the control of the evil one” ()
that Satan “leads the whole world astray” ().
These could hardly be descriptions of an impersonal force or a mere personification of evil.
They are strong indications that the Bible teaches he is a real created being.
