Satan is our greatest enemy and he would do anything to take us away from God, from our calling, to have us no longer be on the path that God has called us to. A real danger to all of us is that we can deceive ourselves. Our hearts are still in the process of being changed and there are things in there that can lead us astray if we let them.
