“As taught in ‘The Family: A Proclamation to the World,’ all
beings are created in God’s image. Each has a divine nature and destiny as a
spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents. Knowing the divinity of Heavenly
Father’s children, the adversary seeks to limit their earthly and heavenly
potential. He uses tactics of deception, distraction and discouragement, also
known as ‘the three Ds of the adversary.’ Satan seeks to deceive individuals by
influencing them to forget who they are. He attempted to do this with Moses by
calling him a “son of man” and urging Moses to worship him. However, Moses
resisted and remembered he was a son of God, the only God whom he would
worship. If people do not understand who they are, it is difficult to recognize
who they can become.” – Elder Peter M. Johnson
