 He's deceptive. In fact, Jesus said in John 8, 44, 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. Friend, the devil is not some mythical creature. He's real, and the sooner we recognize it, the better off we'll be. Let's stay away from him.
