The glamorous and enjoyable picture that Satan paints of sin is actually a deception. When we think of that faithful wife or husband who was betrayed, or the innocent children whose little hearts are crushed because momma or daddy left them, surely we see the deceitfulness of sin. If we would only be aware of sin's true characteristics we would have the right attitude concerning it. We would abhor sin and weep because of it. Not only is sin deceptive, it is progressive.
Sin leads to more sin.
Certainly we see this in the incident of David and Bathsheeba. David went out on his roof and from there saw a woman bathing. Instead of turning away, he looked upon her to lust after her. The lust led to coveting her, sending for her, and committing adultery with her. Oh, sin starts out small, and most people think nothing of it, or are sorrowed because of it.
