They are fallen angels who are destined for the lake of fire. They know it. They want to hurt God, and the only way they can accomplish that is to hurt us, which in turn hurts God. We are not soldiers of God nor does God need us, but we are caught in the enemy’s battle against God. If we do not join others in the fight against the enemy, he will overcome us in our loneliness. We need to band together and at the very least ward of the attacks that come at us all the time. The best way to do this is to put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10:18) and gather together to admonish, strengthen, and encourage each other. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:17).
