The Bible does not explicitly state that the Devil consumes physical food. However, interpretations suggest the Devil feeds on spiritual corruption, specifically sin, deception, and the downfall of humanity. These interpretations view the Devil as deriving power and influence from actions contrary to God’s will.
This understanding highlights the constant spiritual battle between good and evil described in the scriptures. The Devil’s sustenance, according to this view, is the antithesis of divine grace and righteousness. The pervasiveness of wrongdoing is thus connected to the Devil’s activity and perceived strength. This also emphasizes the responsibility of individuals to resist temptation and uphold moral principles.
