Satan likes to attack us by making us question the idea that God even loves us at all. Every time you doubt God’s love, or start thinking things like “why would He love us when we’re so awful?”, recognize those thoughts for what they are: spiritual attack.
Satan makes us question the love of God because he knows that condemnation leads to destruction
Conviction [should] lead(s) us to think, “I made this mistake; I will take a step back, bring it to God, and by His love and grace I will learn and move forward.” (John 1.9, Philippians 3.12-14)
Condemnation, however is a slippery slope. It leads us to think, “I do/I think, therefore I am; I’m already awful anyway, so I may as well just keep doing awful things.” (Galatians 5.1)
It is a snare, it is a trap, and we need to recognize it as such
And the other version of this, “I’m so horrible that I can’t possibly be redeemed and God couldn’t want anything to ever do with me.” which I think a LOT of people stumble into.
