What does the Bible say about selling oneself to sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns that selling oneself to sin leads to spiritual death and divine judgment, as seen in Ahab's story.

The Scripture highlights the grave consequences of deliberately selling oneself to work evil, as illustrated by King Ahab in 1 Kings 21:20. Ahab's actions represent a conscious choice to engage in wickedness, showing that such decisions lead to estrangement from God and incurrence of His wrath. Romans 6:16 also elaborates on the idea that one becomes a servant to whatever they yield themselves to, underscoring the notion that apart from the grace of God, every individual is in bondage to sin. This somber reality serves not only as a historical lesson through Ahab's life but also as a warning to all believers regarding the seriousness of sin and its wages: death (Romans 6:23).
