Depending on what source you use, the answer may differ. But any source to this question is a fiction since the story of the devil is itself a fiction. My favorite source remains John Milton's epic poem PARADISE LOST. I find Milton more reliable than The Bible; he is not so contradictory.

Lucifer was, apparently, the brightest of angels, hence his name. He rebelled against God, a sin of pride, and since God apparently dislikes pride he banished Lucifer from Heaven. But as Milton's great character says: "It is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven." Lucifer is thus somewhat like God, who also relishes in pride; God was too proud to put up with Lucifer. But God had a little more power and so could banish Lucifer. Lucifer, however, gets the upper hand in Milton by being the more interesting character. God is rather dull and wimpy. And in fiction, after all, being an "interesting" character is the powerful thing.
