“No one sins out of duty. We sin because we believe the deceitful promises that 
sin makes. The Bible warns ‘that none of you may be hardened by the _deceitfulness_
of sin’ (Hebrews 3:13). The promises of sin are lies… We sever the lifeline of sin
by the power of a superior promise.”

–John Piper, _Battling Unbelief_ (Colorado Springs, Co.: Multnomah Publishers, 2007),
pp. 16-17.
