James 1:15
Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;
and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
There is a law of 'sowing and reaping'. God will bring attention to our rebellion that we can come to repentance. The first commandment: Love God with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength. The second is like it - -LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. Difficult when they are spitting in your face, but possible in Messiah Jesus Christ, manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.
