There wasn't a time when he ceased to exist. He has always been present in our lives like the shadowy past for a repentant. Having infiltrated his way into the darkest corners of our soul, he lurks and covets for an expression that would blunt the hideousness which we are made of.
This isn't any secret that our very composition has a hint of darkness to it. We don't come to know its origin just like we remain unaware of the origin of our faith in God.
The Devil's work is to make us experience the coldest truths of life, those utterly jaded and depraved figments of reality that we fail to behold in good times. The Devil, also referred to as Lucifer indeed has a literal meaning, 'light bearer' which clearly interprets to his very deep purpose in our lives, that is enlightenment. He introduces you to the life you'd hate to live, but he is a necessary evil. He clings to the existence of God. He comes with him.
Whether or not we feel his punishing presence soon after our wrong doings, he arrives to correct us.
What is needed for us is to acknowledge, not banish his presence, see him as a teacher & see the dark times as a delayed boon because even if we hate, in the darkest of hours, lie the brightest of realizations.
