In the Bible, the devil is presented as an adversary of people and of Jesus, a character bent on leading people and Jesus away from absolute obedience to God.

Other names for the devil are Satan or the Evil One. Many Christians believe it refers to the fallen angel Lucifer, who has turned against God.

The topic of the devil should be handled very sensitively - we don’t want to frighten the children in any way.

At the same time, we cannot avoid this character because he comes up in some very important Bible stories. 

On this page you will find creative ideas, resources and activities relating to the devil which you can use in your children’s work, children’s church, Sunday school, or Christian primary school.
