Sin is Lying to You

Sin makes you think things that aren’t true. It convinces you that the darkness is actually the light. The Bible talks about the deceitfulness of sin. Sin deceives you into thinking it’s good for you. And people fall for that because it feels good. It gives you some fun, meets some felt need, or offers some kind of instant relief. But sin is a lying thief. Sin says if it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad. But it gives you happy while it steals your peace. And your joy. Because sin is an idol. And idolatry is the enemy of joy. Because sin’s pleasure is fleeting, and it’s never enough. And it keeps demanding more sacrifices to it. So, sin is the ultimate dissatisfaction machine. And sin violates your conscience, and eventually makes it unreliable. It starts by saying something is a “necessary evil.” But then it begins to look more and more necessary and less and less evil. Because sin makes you love a lie.
