“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning…”1 John 3:8

 2. What important clues did Jesus gives us with regards to the nature and character of the Devil?

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44

3. What did Revelation 12:7-12 say happened in heaven among the angels?

“Then war broke out in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, who fought back with his angels; but the dragon was defeated, and he and his angels were not allowed to stay in heaven any longer. The huge dragon was thrown out — that ancient serpent, named the Devil, or Satan, that deceived the whole world. He was thrown down to earth, and all his angels with him.” Rev. 12:7-12 (TEV)
