Water flows down hill and so does sin. Judah and Israel sinned by violating the first commandment, “Thou shalt have no other God before me”. That rejection of God and the religious practices associated with the worship of false Gods led them to violate the second greatest commandment, “thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”.
In their worship of false Gods they sacrificed their own children by burning them in fire. Once that line was crossed, human life was devalued and they started killing each other.
In their worship of false Gods they had sex with male and female cult prostitutes. Once that line was crossed their spousal vows were devalued and they started committing adultery with each other.
These two examples of hard core sins led to every other kind of sin.
Once God is devalued and we elevate our wants over God, there is no restraint for what we do but our own self will… and that is not much of a barrier.
God’s Laws build us up and make us better people. The law of self will creates miserable people. Water flows downhill and gathers force and speed… so does sin.
Believe in God and put him first in your life… you won’t be sorry.
