Imagination is creating in our mind an illusion or fantasy made out of the things we have seen, heard, and felt. God meant it to be used for creating real things, since we are made in his image and likeness, but sin has corrupted the human mind and heart and now it is used by the powers of evil to destroy us. Imagination is where sin is always born and planned before it is carried out in the flesh. An imagination that has no reins will wreck the mind, life, and soul. Insanity is legally defined as "the inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality."
