He was proud and wanted to be better than God.

Answer:

Lucifer was the first "sinner."

Sin is the transgression of God's law (I John 3:4), the Ten Commandments... which are His laws, the keeping of which is love, concern and respect for others.

In the beginning, when God made the angels and there were no men, yet, Satan turned the love of God "inward" and took on the attitude of selfishness.

He became jealous of God and lusted after His power and authority. He felt he could do a better job of governing than his Maker. He sowed seeds of discord and discontentment among the angels over whom God gave him charge... and he convinced them to follow him in a "coup attempt" against God and His Government.

"...thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God (stars symbolize angels - Rev.1:20)... I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High..." (Isa.14:13-14).

Lucifer was the "originator of sin."

"...he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth (the Truth is God's Word - John 17:17), because there is no Truth in him..." (John 8:44).

Lucifer was the first to "bear false witness":

"...When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." (verse44)

That's what Lucifer did wrong. He originated "sin."
