When 2 Corinthians 11:14 tells us that “satan disguises himself as an angel of light,” it means that satan capitalizes on our love of the light in order to deceive. He wants us to think that he is good, truthful, loving, and powerful – all the things that God is. To portray himself as a dark, devilish being with horns would not be very appealing to the majority of people. Most people are not drawn to darkness, but to light. Therefore, satan appears as a creature of light to draw us to himself and his lies.
