After the drugs wear off, after the high fades, after the sexual ecstasy is reached, there is that empty feeling, that feeling of being unclean, ungratified, discontent. And that's why, when sinners really meet Jesus, they gladly abandon their sinful habits in a moment. And then sin appealing, enticing sin calls to us again, reminding us of those intimate moments we once enjoyed in its embrace, failing to remind us of the hell we went through when we woke up from our dream. In the end, the happiness becomes sadness, the thrill becomes a nightmare, the pleasure becomes an addiction. Sin never keeps its promises.
Sin leads to more sin.
There is no such thing as freedom in the world, and the higher we go in the social life the more bondage there is. That's the way sin operates in the little things as well as the large, in lying as well as lusting, in stealing a candy bar as well as robbing a bank. The promised fulfillment is fleeting. At first, the temptation may come once a month, but when you give in, it's like feeding a fire. Soon enough, it needs to be fed again.
