They speak evil of thethings that they do not understand, and in their corruption they will be destroyed.2 Peter 2:19Although they promise them freedom, they themselves are slaves of corruption, for by that which a manis overcome, to this he is enslaved.Cognate: 5356 phthorá (from 5351 /phtheírō) – destruction from internal corruption (deterioration,decay); "rottenness, perishableness, corruption, decay, decomposition" (Souter). See 5351 (phteírō).The heart is more deceitful than all things and desperately wicked; who can understand it? Jeremiah 17Sin struggles against the Spirit. The sin nature is utterly contrary to the Spirit and beyond thecontrol of the person (Gal. 5:17; cf. Rom. 7:7–25). It is death to the human (Rom. 8:6, 13) and anoffense to God (Rom. 8:7–8; 1 Cor. 15:50). From it comes the epithumia, the entire range ofunholy desires (Rom. 1:24; 7:8; Titus 2:12; 1 John 2:16). Sin even dwells within the person (Rom.7:17–24; 8:5–8) as a principle or law (Rom. 7:21, 23, 25). Actual sins begin in the sinful natureoften as the result of worldly or supernatural temptation (James 1:14–15; 1 John 2:16). One ofsin’s most insidious characteristics is that it gives rise to more sin. Sin, like the malignancy it is,grows of itself to fatal proportions in both extent and intensity unless dealt with by the cleansing LIVE NOTES FOR WWW.THERAGGEDEDGERADIO.COM BY RUSS DIZDAR © 10of Christ’s blood. Sin’s self-reproduction may be seen in the Fall (Gen. 3:1–13), in Cain’s descentfrom jealously to homicide (Gen. 4:1–15), and in David’s lust giving birth to adultery, murder, andgenerations of suffering (2 Sam. 11 through 12). Romans 1:18–32 recounts humanity’s downwardcourse from the rejection of revelation to complete abandon and proselytization. Similarly, the“seven deadly sins” (an ancient catalog of vices contrasted with parallel virtues) have beenviewed not only as root sins, but also as a descending sequence of sin.53This process of sin’s feeding on sin is realized through many mechanisms. The ambitious authorof wickedness, Satan, is the archantagonist of this evil drama. As the ruler of this present age(John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:2), he constantly seeks to deceive, tempt, sift, anddevour (Luke 22:31–34; 2 Cor. 11:14; 1 Thess. 3:5; 1 Pet. 5:8), even inciting the heart directly (1Chron. 21:1). The natural inclination of the flesh, still awaiting full redemption, also plays a part.The temptations of the world beckon the heart (James 1:2–4; 1 John 2:16). Sin often requiresmore sin to reach its elusive goal, as in Cain’s attempt to hide his crime from God (Gen. 4:9). Thepleasure of sin (Heb. 11:25–26) may be self-reinforcing. Sinners provoke their victims to respondin sin (note the contrary exhortations: Prov. 20:22; Matt. 5:38–48; 1 Thess. 5:15; 1 Pet. 3:9).Sinners entice others into sin (Gen. 3:1–6; Ex. 32:1; 1 Kings 21:25; Prov. 1:10–14; Matt. 4:1–11;5:19; Mark 1:12–13; Luke 4:1–13; 2 Tim. 3:6–9; 2 Pet. 2:18–19; 3:17; 1 John 2:26).54 Sinnersencourage other sinners in sin (Ps. 64:5; Rom. 1:19–32).55 Individuals harden their hearts againstGod and try to avoid the ment
