Lucifer, by Guillaume Geefs (Cathedral of St. Paul, Liège, Belgium)
In
Christianity, the Devil is named
Satan, sometimes Lucifer. He is a fallen
angel who rebelled against
God. He is often identified as the serpent in the
Garden of Eden, whose persuasions led to
original sin and the need for
Jesus Christ's redemption. He is also identified as the Accuser of
Job, the tempter of the
Gospels, and the dragon in the
Book of Revelation. Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of
evil, however he can go no further than the word of God allows.
