The Holy Ghost and the devil both accuse of sin. The Lord in order to lead the soul to true contrition, faith in God's mercy in Christ, penance and eternal life. The demon accuses to bring the soul to despair of justification, as he accused Christ on the cross, "if you are the Son of God..."
The accuser of the brethren reviles us, "you are a failure! How could you sin this way?!!" The Holy Ghost pleads, "come home, beloved!"
