The Nature of Sin
The Deceitfulness of Sin
Hamartiology · 5 verses
Sin is inherently deceptive, promising pleasure while delivering death, offering freedom while forging chains. It blinds the mind, hardens the heart, and dulls the conscience. Sin rarely appears in its true character but disguises itself, minimizing its severity and maximizing its allure. Only the light of God's Word exposes sin's true nature.
