The reasoning usually goes something like this: “If this is natural for me… then it must be right for me.”
And if anyone suggests restraint, self-control, or moral boundaries, that person is often viewed as hateful or uncaring.
But when you really stop and think about it, that idea falls apart pretty quickly.
The truth is, every one of us is born with tendencies we are not supposed to simply give ourselves over to. We all have weaknesses. We all have desires that pull us in wrong directions. That is part of being human in a fallen world.
One person may naturally struggle with anger. Another with pride. Another with selfishness. Someone else may battle greed, jealousy, lust, dishonesty, or addiction.
The Bible never teaches that every natural desire is good simply because it feels natural.
