Satan knows you're not going to knowingly fall into sin. So he has to deceive you into thinking it's something good. It's something you need. It's not anything that will harm you.
If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it. (Gen. 4:7)
Sometimes we do things that seem so minor or insignificant but they lead to major setbacks in our lives.

Who would have thought:

A simple Facebook comment could lead to a full on adulterous affair?

A single marijuana joint could lead to 14 years behind bars?

One casual drink could lead to being a college drop-out attending Alcoholics Anonymous classes?

One cheap bet on a college football game could lead to a gambling addiction?

One single mouse-click could lead to a porn addiction?

One swipe of the credit card could lead to bankruptcy and financial bondage?

That’s how Satan works. Little by little we are attracting in our lives the very things we do not want. Destruction. Ruin. Failure. Disappointments. Regret. Daily, we are given the choice to do the right things or give in to the wrong things. We are the ones who choose to actively open the door or keep it closed.

Satan knows you're not going to knowingly fall into sin. So he has to deceive you into thinking it's something good. It's something you need. It's not anything that will harm you. He is a liar and the father of all lies. He is incapable of telling the truth. If your life is veering off the path of God, then that reveals who you are spending more time listening to. A liar.
