We live in a culture where one of the worst things you can do is tell someone something they did was their fault. We’ve come up with reasons why no one is to blame for anything they do. Rather than help people, what we’ve done is made them perpetual victims. Those with the victim mentality say, “I can’t help it. There is nothing I can do. It’s not my fault.” The reason given for why they can’t help but do whatever it is they’re doing may differ from person to person. But it’s the same victim mentality that is humorously expressed in the bumper sticker saying, “The devil made me do it.” But, is that true? Are we victims and slaves of our sinful nature? Scripture gives an answer to this.
