first thing I've learned is that we must understand sin is a matter of the spirit, not just the mind. We were programmed to be drawn to things that will make us happy. God designed us for pleasure; He wants us to enjoy ourselves. But we were designed to find the ultimate pleasure in Him. Satan knows this and tries to lure us away from Him with pleasures of this world. And yes, they are nice … for a time. But ultimately, they will leave us empty, guilty and desperate, and with a massive void in our hearts that cannot be filled. The key is finding that ravishing pleasure in God and not in the sin. How do we do that? By realizing how God sees us—and extravagantly loves us.
