The Mathematics of Sin
By Paul R. Blake
Desire + Focus = Inordinate desire (lust)
It is not a sin to have desire. Desire is a healthy motivator (Ecc. 3:1-11). However, when one focuses intently and at length on the object of his desire, desire grows out of proportion and often out of control. At that point it becomes inordinate desire or lust.
Desire + Opportunity = Temptation
Remove one factor from this equation and there is no temptation. One is not truly tempted if he has desire but no opportunity to fulfill it. He is not tempted when he has opportunity but no interest in the matter. Temptation arises when one has both the interest or desire and the opportunity to engage his desire. Furthermore, it is not a sin to be tempted; it is a sin to succumb to temptation.
Temptation + Action = Sin
When one combines temptation with action (mental, verbal, or physical), his desire has developed into sin. Sin does not exist in the absence of action.
Sin + Repetition = Reprobate Mind
Time
Sin that is one persists in over time becomes embedded in the heart and mind to the point that it is virtually impossible to remove. One develops a debased mind that cannot feel the pangs of sorrow over sin, and consequently never repent.
Sin - (Repentance + Right Conduct) = Death
One who does not repent of his sins and bring forth fruits that demonstrate repentance is spiritually dead, and he will partake of the second death in Perdition after the Judgment.
