 Satan is a deceiver.  In the Bible we find that Satan is often described as a serpent who is, according to Genesis 3:1, “more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made.”  Jesus Christ said that Satan “is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn.8:44).  When Peter admonished Ananias for lying about his offering, he asked, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit…?” (Acts 5:3).  In his rebuke of a sorcerer named Elymus, the apostle Paul said, “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right!  You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery…” (Acts 13:10).  In the book of Revelation, Satan is referred to as “the deceiver of the whole world” (12:9; see also Rev.20:2-3,10).
