Satan was a high ranking angel that over time developed a desire for the worship that God received. Once man was created Satan desired to receive worship from man. God commanded Adam to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and bad for if he does he will die. Satan deceived Eve into eating of the tree's fruit. Satan told Eve "you will not die" and that you will become like God (having your eyes opened) knowing good and evil. Satan (father of the lie) lied when he said that Eve would not die. He also encouraged Adam and Eve to be independent of God and decide what is good and bad for themselves. Satan encouraged man to rebel against God and brought death to mankind. God's sovereignty or right to rule was questioned by Satan.
