According to The Bible, Lucifer (the devil) left heaven because he was jealous of God's power and knowledge. The devil wanted to have that power for himself and turned against God. This is why the devil left heaven. The Bible then describes the devil as trying to corrupt Christians and he preached about God's alleged abuse of power and questioned why there is evil in the world if God has the power to stop it.

Who was the first to rebel against God's word?
Lucifer was considered the first being to ever rebel against the Lord's word in favor of his own greed. The Bible dictates talks sometimes of his arrogance and jealousy of God. As iniquity was found in his heart his desire became to raise himself above God and try to be the most high. Revelation speaks briefly about his initial rebellion stating that Michael and his troops come out victorious against the Devil(The Red Dragon) and his troops. His actions were an outright revolt against God's Word as He clearly states to have no other God's before Him and to Love God over all else. Lucifer wanted to worship himself as a god and he was willing to disrespect and defile to do it. Consequently self-worship is something often taught in many satanic and new age religions to this day. Eve was the first Human being to ever rebel against the Lord's Word. Transgression is considered a form of rebellion or biting your thumb at the Lord. Although she was tricked into disobeying God's commandment she still went ahead and did it contrary to orders. Adam became the second Human being to rebel against God.

The Bible's Answer:Genesis 1:31 - "After that God saw everythinghe had made, and look! it was very good."God gave both the angelic creatures and humans free will. Even the devil was described as ""the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty" in a parallel at Ezekiel 28:12. In verses 15-17 it describes how the devil eventually became haughty and used his free will to rebel against God. He then also got humans to rebel against God as well. Since then, we have been "born in sin", or in other words, born with a defect. (Romans 5:12)The Bible says that God did not make bad people but gave us free will. Many humans have used that free will to practice what is bad.
