The apostle Paul kept this battle focused especially on forgiveness of sins. Notice from those comments above that Satan progresses from temptations to accusations. Armed with that strategy, he scans the church for times when the saints feel as though God is far away. At those times, he can work his ruse about us not being forgiven, but “we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs” (2 Cor. 2:11). And we need help in this battle.
