Bible Verses About Demons, Satan, And Fallen Angels

Scriptures on Satan and the Fallen Angels (Demons)

I have hesitated on doing a list of Bible verses about Satan and fallen angels otherwise known as demons.

The reason I hesitate is that sometimes people get way too worked up about blaming Satan for everything that happens and at times go as far as to give him attributes that only God has like being all-knowing and all-powerful.

I also get concerned that giving too much attention to the devil plays right into his desire to be worshiped and glorified.

So as you read these scriptures, please keep in mind that Satan wants to distract you. Learn what the scriptures say about the devil and demons but always remember to focus on Jesus.
