They want to turn you in hostility against God. A man who takes a mistress does not return to his wife the same, but is alienated in his mind toward her. But he deliberately slips into temptation with worldly friends, deeds, and activities. But so long as he continues in a life of wickedness, that wickedness must turn his mind against God, against the church, and against God's people. So long as you remain in a way of wickedness, that wickedness will infiltrate your mind and alienate you against God and all that is of God.
Sin is violent.
Sin is powerful. Sin is spiritually mind-altering. Those wicked deeds seek to overcome and prevent obedience to God. Therefore, being reconciled to God, resist sin. Daily engage in contending with indwelling sin.
