Do you remember: “The Devil made me do it.” That was a comedic line voiced many times on television last century? Who said it? People who provide that expression in real life are only offering up feeble excuses. They try to shift the blame for yielding to temptations or just plain doing something wrong to someone else.
Humankind has always struggled to understand—if the sin we do comes from outside evil influences or the devils residing within us. Could it be that we sin because of our own, inborn, sinful nature? James 1:14 declares, “Each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire” Why then, do we transgress? We sin because we are sinners infected with sin. While demonic, oppressiveness, powers are real, our sinful natures are the primary problems. “Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.” Notice, Galatians 5:19-21 says it’s the “works of the flesh,” not the works of the devil.
