       And this what? Well, it causes sin to come alive; it causes the death, the feeling of conviction. People realize where they are sinning. They realize they are in the wrong, that God is against their behaviors. The goal, the hope is, that they feel bad. This bad feeling is necessary in order for them to turn from their sins and come to Christ. What is scary here is that Paul says, for him personally, and this applies to all, is that sin deceived him. Sin can do this in a couple different ways. First, it deceives a person because they believe that things are not sin when they really are. An unbeliever, for instance, may believe that fornication, sexual activity with another outside of marriage, is in fact ok, that it is acceptable. Sin is deceptive. People learn to ignore the consciences, to go against what they know they ought to do.
