The home suddenly became spacious and quiet, and everyone lived happily ever after. Covetous persons are held by their own greed as surely as beasts with cords, or fish with nets, or men with chains. Coveting captivates our minds and tears down our convictions. They begin to neglect their life with God, and find no time for service, Bible reading, and prayer. Covetousness consumes us.
Sin is bondage.
The devil lies to you when he tells you a different story. Any of us who have experienced the shackles of sin in our own lives know what a complicated web of despair we can become entangled in. The Law of the Lord liberates. It puts us on a straight path. It simplifies life, and gives us clarity of vision and freedom in spirit.
