Is it solely that Satan's accusations are based on lies (but HE does accuse us based on our sins that we actually do commit, right),

Or is it motivation of the partis (one wants to destroy, the other to help)...
Satan's accusations lead to legalism, despair, and hopelessness. The Holy Spirit's conviction leads to repentance and life.
