The science of sin

The science of fire is made up of three parts, spark, fuel, and oxygen. If you remove any of the three elements, you cannot have fire. Sin is also made up of three elements, at least physical sin is, and they are lust, enticement, and opportunity. If you could break up this unholy trinity, you would not have sin in the flesh. (based on James 1:14,15) Everything has a science; I speak from a worldly perspective, and not a heavenly, but, according to this world, everything has a science. Fire burns if not controlled, and sin leads to death if left to itself; it is a natural fact. Fire leaves ruin and ashes, while sin leads to death and despair.

The science of sin--
When enticement meets with lust, we are tempted, but opportunity has not yet presented itself; when opportunity meets with enticement, we are lured, but lust has not yet entered the picture; it takes all three meeting all at once, and be sure that the devil will do his part to see that they do. It is wise of us to seek the guidance of the Lord in our daily walk, that these three should never meet al at the same time, lest we fall to the clutches of sin. Man is weak, and Satan knows our weaknesses, and he will see to it, the best he can, that these three meet together in the minds and hearts of God’s people.
