In fact, the meaning of this film is very simple.

The reason why God allows the devil to do wanton destruction is why he allows the devil to do so and leave it alone. God's purpose in doing this is to teach people how to use the weapons God has given you to deal with the devil. And that weapon is "love". This is the weapon that scares and despairs the devil the most. This is also the focus of this film. If you don't know how to wield such a weapon yet, you're just waiting for the devil to come to you.
So if you want to fight the devil, you must make good use of God-given weapons. Arm yourself with God-given equipment. Just like Ephesians chapter 6 verses 11-18.
To put on the full armor of God, you will be able to resist the schemes of the devil.
For we are not at war with flesh and blood, but against the principalities, the powers, the rulers of this dark world, and the spiritual demons in the sky.
So take up the whole armor that God has given you, so that you can resist the enemy in the days of tribulation, and you can still stand when you have accomplished everything.
So stand firm, gird your loins with truth, and cover your breasts with righteousness as a breastplate.
He put on his feet the good news of peace as shoes to prepare for walking,
and he took faith as a shield to quench all the darts of the wicked one.
And put on the helmet of salvation, and take the sword of the Holy Spirit, which is the Word of God.
Relying on the Holy Spirit, pray and ask in all directions at all times, and watch here tirelessly, praying for all the saints,

so that the devil will not be able to help you.
The devil's weapon is nothing but the exploitation of man's selfish desires, selfishness, doubt, hatred, jealousy, and exploitation of man's fears.
