    If the devil can convince you that your core identity is a sinner then you will live and act like it for the rest of your life. He knows that your actions arise from your identity, so he will try to convince you that your identity arises from your action

    Have you ever thought about why God would create us to have children? He could have created us like the angels who don’t have children.
