Albert Einstein said, "The only source of knowledge is experience."
We know through modern revelation that "Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection."
Thus, if it is through experience that we gain knowledge and knowledge is all that rises with us into the next life, then it follows that Satan does not need to convert you to win; he only needs to distract you from having experiences.
I love that saying that we are not humans having a spiritual experience, we are spirits having a human experience. The purpose of this life is to master ourselves while in these temporary bodies so that we can be endowed with greater power in the next life with our permanent bodies.
But, just like those boys who sat atop a panoramic mountain starring into their smartphones; it is possible for us to go through life so distracted by the world, that we miss out on the purpose for which we have come.
2 Nephi 28:21
And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security...and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.
Calvin Coolidge
All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.
Abraham 3:25
And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.
