We are forever trying to decide whether or not to sin. All of us have been driven to this point in our life that there was a overwhelming temptation to sin. All of us have entertained sin or even the thought of it. Just think when was the last time you let sin get the best of you. Do you remember your thoughts and emotions. Often times after the sin has been committed we tend to write it off saying, “I’ll try to do better the next time,” as though you already planed or even excepted your defeat ahead of time, saying things like “the Lord knows me.” That is the point. He does know you.

James 1:12-15 says:
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Sin can not make anybody do anything wrong, because sin is not activated, until it is united to your will. Sin doesn’t control anyone. But when it is united with your will, it becomes a force to reckon with. Once an agreement has been signed in your heart to do sin then it manifests on the outside.

Mark 7:15 says “There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.”

Also Matthew 12:34-37 says:
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Take a look at Matthew 12:36 again, ” But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”

So be very careful of the person of sin that draws you in, for it will be like a spider web which looks so beautifully interesting, but is deadly to the touch. If you touch it it will entrap you further with every movement you make to be free.
