Nibbling at Satan’s golden baits! – Thomas Brooks

“. . . the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

Sin is of a very deceitful and bewitching nature. It will kiss the soul, and look enticing to the soul, and yet betray the soul forever. It will with Delilah smile upon us that it may betray us into the hands of the devil as she betrayed Samson into the hands of the Philistines.

Tell the bewitched soul that sin is a viper that will certainly kill; that sin often kills secretly, insensibly, eternally yet the bewitched soul cannot, and will not, cease from sin.

A man bewitched with sin had rather lose God, Christ, heaven, and his own soul than part with his sin! Oh, therefore, forever take heed of playing with or nibbling at Satan’s golden baits!
