Deep dives
The Proliferation of Sin
Sin acts like a virus, leading to an increasing tendency to commit more sin. Once a person engages in sinful behavior, it creates a proclivity that makes future sinful decisions easier. This cycle reinforces negative behaviors as individuals often convince themselves of the morality of their actions, clouding their judgment on right and wrong. Recognizing that personal choices influence one's moral landscape is crucial, as sin can distort one's conscience over time.
