I could never trust that bungee cord. I have a hard time trusting. And yet, that's what I need to do to be saved. I need to trust in Jesus. Sin originates in the mind.
Sin is the transgression of the law.
The mind is the chief transgressor of the law. The physical breaking of the law is just the result of sin springing from the mind or heart. Amazingly, the real battle is not against physical sins. The main problem is not the symptom of alcohol, or women or some other physical sin. The higher battle is fought in the mind.
