There are few references to the Devil in the Bible.
o The Devil appears as a serpent in Genesis 3 where he convinces Eve to eat from the
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil – thereby disobeying God.
o In the story of Job where he suggests to God that Job is only obedient to him
because he is protected so well by God. God therefore allows the Devil to bring all
kinds of suffering upon Job to demonstrate that Job will remain faithful to God,
which he does.
o The Devil appears to tempt Jesus in the wilderness offering food and wealth + power,
but Jesus remains faithful.
