There needs to be a balance of good and evil in the world. Without evil, what is good? You cannot have light if you do not have darkness. And without Satan, people would not be able to make the choice on whether to believe God and go to Heaven, or to go to Hell. God could destroy Satan at any moment, but He doesn't choose to.

Phase 1 is complete, sin no longer has power over us if we live by the Holy Spirit.
Phase 2 will come after the rapture, after the tribulation. satan will be chained for 1000 years and the earth will have perfect order. Then satan is loosened to reveal to the people who they really serve, God because they had to for those 1000 years, or satan when they get the free will again. Then satan will be gone forever and the new Heaven and new earth come to those who have experienced 2 Corinthians 5:17, make sure that happens to you because of John 3:3!
FYI: the rapture can occur at any moment. the anti-Christ will have lots of explaining to do on where all the followers of Christ dissapeared to...I think he'll say the aliens took us. The Jews will build their temple in Jerusalem and have sacrifices once again and there will be peace there for 3.5 years. After that, the anti-Christ will proclaim he is God and in comes the mark of the beast. It will go on the right hand or forehead and without it, people won't be able to buy, sell, nor trade. Getting the mark of the beast will be a huuuuge mistake and NO ONE should get it no matter what. I'm glad I won't even be here during that time (because of the rapture).
That's just a quick run of some events, there are more events and details that happen, but the Bible has it all in there. Seek and you will find!

Because that's not the way the story goes. You gotta stick with the script.
The "One true God" has to allow Satan to seduce and bend the will of those not strong in the spirit so that he, Satan, can turn the earth into a oppressed, ravaged, decadent land. At that point Jesus who so is really just another facet of "The One true God" can return to earth for the last battle.
Once Satan is defeated the "One True God" will give everyone one last chance to repent, those that don't languish is Hell for all eternity where there will be wailing and the gnashing of teeth. The folks who end up in hell will throw Satan into a lake of fire for misleading them.
After that is all said and done those who followed the "Son of God who actually is just a part of the One True God" will get to populate a new Earth.

As bad as it may sound Satan serves Gods will. He weeds out the crop. Seperates the weeds from the weet. He refines Gods children like fine gold. He instigates a war or wars that triger the second coming of Jesus Christ.One thing thats pretty sick is the fact that the Devil saduces and forces people to recieve his spirit and the spiritual mark 666 then when he gets so many souls into captivity he sets of to destroy the earth by useing people as pupits. He isnt thrown into the lake of fire then either. a mighty angel binds him with chains and throws him into the abyss for 1000 years until he is let out again to decieve the masons.

Becuase, he is part of God's plan. Satan started out as an angel in heaven but when he chose to rebel against God he was cast out of heaven and then became the father of sin. He made the choice to sin and now God gives us a choice if we want to serve Him or follow Satan. It's a way to find out who on this earth is a true servant of God or a follower of evil. God want us to prove our love for him and he allows Satan to exist for that reason.

Lucifer is often used in Christian mythology to search for suggestion from from devil, as because of the figuring out the fallen "son of the break of day" of Isaiah 14:12 with the "accuser" of different passages interior the former testomony. earlier his rebellion, devil became between the optimal of all angels and the "brightest interior the sky." The popularly held beliefs that devil became once a prideful angel who ultimately rebels adverse to God, notwithstanding, are particularly portrayed explicitly interior the Bible and are extra regularly than not in accordance to inference.
