There is a devil that goes by many titles in the world. The "adversary" that long temps one away from the truth and than back to having a personal relationship with God.
Since before this world began"Lucifer" was a beautiful and full of pride angel that brought rebellion against God in heaven and fell to this earth taking along one third of the angels. The mission was to plant seeds of corruptibility into this world's system of commerce, government, education, and religion. We have inherited this cognitive system of behavior. The "adversary "seeks to conquer and divide subtlety inside close relationships and by larger scale all out war between nations.
Even Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert before he started his ministry of teaching and healing with his disciples. Jesus and his disciples taught others to put on a new man with a new thought life and perception . John 3:16 represents the intent of God for Jesus. "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
