Sin doesn't trip people up by being the absolute last thing anyone wants in their lives. It wins us over by promising satisfaction, which it cannot fulfill. Liars may believe dishonesty can get them out of a bad situation, but when they are discovered, even their testimony to the truth becomes suspect. Drug addicts may take drugs to feel good, but in the end they end up taking them just to feel normal. Alcoholics may drink to take away their pain, but how much pain does alcoholism cause? Sex was designed for marriage: Designed so we can love just one person in many ways. When it is abused, that closeness is lost. We start feeling one form of "love" for many people.
I could go on. Gluttony, envy, strife, even murder, sin lies to the sinner, promising to give us what it actually takes away, and to take away what it actually gives. Like the fruit in Eden. Did God provide nothing for Adam and Eve? Were they beggars on the street? Were they cold, hungry, thirsty, or dirty? They had everything they needed, everything they could ever want. But that deceitful serpent told them they wanted more, and they believed him. So they took what they ought not to have taken, and as a result, they doomed themselves and their descendants, losing almost everything.
As Christians, we are not immune to sin. It is even possible for Christians to get themselves into new bad habits such as they would never have struggled with before their conversion. But we also have a promise that no temptation has overtaken us that God will not also provide us a way out of. When sin lies to us, we can tell it to jog on. When the devil waves a forbidden fruit in front of our faces, we can tell him to rot along with it. If we confess our sins, God tells us He is faithful and just to forgive us, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and that all things work together for the good for those who love God, and are called according to His purpose.
What sins are you struggling with? Bring them before Him and ask Him to set you free. Are there lasting effects of the sins of your past? Bring them before Him, and ask Him to show you how to use them for His glory. There is true freedom in Christ. Not the freedom to sin, as the world mistakenly believes they have, to their own destruction. Rather, we have the freedom from sin, able to see through the lies it tells us, and capable of rejecting it, and using its past effects for the glory of God.
