Sin is attractive precisely because it doesn't show you what it costs.

In this Beyond the Notes teaching, Elder Peter Finch opens Hebrews 3:13 to examine what the Bible means by the "deceitfulness of sin." He traces three specific lies sin tells — that it is a logical conclusion, that it is a reward you deserve, and that it leads to freedom — and sets each of them against what Scripture actually says. Drawing from John 8, Romans 6, and the parable of the prodigal son, Peter shows that sin always promises liberation and delivers bondage.

This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why sin is so hard to walk away from, and what it actually means to be free. Peter closes with three grounded steps from Hebrews 3: make sure you know the Lord, stay in Scripture, and stay in Christian community with people who will tell you the truth.
