Why Do We Sin?

The Deceptive Promises of Sin

Sin occurs because it presents appealing promises that individuals believe. These promises suggest that sin will provide experiences that are superior in quality, duration, intensity, and gratification. The extent to which individuals are misled by these promises determines their likelihood of sinning.

The Nature of Saving Faith

Sin is not committed out of obligation or duty. It's a pursuit of pleasure and satisfaction. Overcoming the allure of sin's promises involves embracing the superior pleasure found in Jesus Christ. This experience is accessed through saving faith, which entails receiving Jesus as an all-satisfying treasure, thus diminishing the appeal of sinful pleasures.
