He shall be holden with the cords of his sins...Proverbs 5:22The first time a certain sin is committed, it’s pleasant and fun.However, there’s still a strong feeling of guilt. The second time is easier. The conscience doesn’t resist as strongly anymore. The third time it’s easier yet. It’s justified with some excuses. It becomes easier and easier to do the wicked deed. At the same time it becomes harder to resist. Eventually the conscience falls silent and the evil deeds have ensnared or captured that person. He or she would have a harder and harder time giving it up. Even though it’s not really as pleasant as before anymore, the person is captured by the sin.Sin is holding that person fast. Someone who gives in to a sin and continues in it becomes completely tied up by his or her sin. A person’s sinful thoughts and desires, as it were, make a rope of his sin. And as that person continues in that sin, he wraps those cords of sin round and round himself until he can’t move anymore. He ends up becoming completely tied up, unable to loosen himself anymore. Continuing in a sin results in that sin eventually tying you up hand and foot more and more so that you can’t escape it anymore.What’s more this sin will cause them to stumble and they can’t figure out for the life of them how they stumbled.The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble..Proverbs 4:19.
