The Deceptive nature of sin rearing its ugly head in the autonomy of "Self" Jeremiah 17: 5-6

Jeremiah 17: 5-6:
Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. 6"For he will be like a bush in the desert And will not see when prosperity comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, A land of salt without inhabitant.…

Consider the deceptive nature of sin under the guise of Autonomy, defined by Saint Augustine from the View of Scripture in Genesis Chapter 1-3:
Augustine’s definition of sin: “Sin is believing the lie that I am self-created, self-dependent, and self-sustained.

Ponder this consideration, if the shoe fits, then take it off! And repent and Depend upon Jesus for Deliverance from your sin!
