Satan
In the Bible, the term "Satan" originates from the Hebrew word "שָּׂטָן" (satan), which means "adversary" or "accuser." This term primarily appears in the context of spiritual opposition, representing a being that stands against God and His purposes. In the Hebrew Scriptures, Satan is portrayed as an entity that challenges the faithfulness of humans and seeks to lead them into sin. A notable example is found in the Book of Job, where Satan presents himself before God and questions Job's integrity (Job 1:6-12). Here, Satan acts as an accuser, suggesting that Job's righteousness is dependent on his prosperous circumstances.In the New Testament, Satan is often identified as the personification of evil, opposing Christ and His followers. He is referred to as "the tempter" (Matthew 4:3) and "the father of lies" (John 8:44), emphasizing his role in leading people away from truth and righteousness. The Apostle Paul describes him as the "god of this age" who blinds the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4), further cementing his role as a deceptive adversary. Overall, Satan's representation in the Bible underscores his function as a formidable opponent to God's plan and humanity's spiritual well-being.
