“Indirectly, the devil confesses God through temptations…Sin brings humility. So it is understood that the devil plays an indirect “role” in our salvation for he reveals our infirmities, and by this helps us to grow. If he would realize how much help is to our salvation, he would trouble us less.”
(Elder Arsenie Papacioc+ of Romania) [Temptation; Struggle]
