The truth revealed by Augustine's experience is found in Romans 7: people are by nature rebellious. If you give us a rule, we will view breaking it as a challenge. But Jesus not only pardons our transgressions but also grants us the Holy Spirit. He bestows a fresh desire and capacity so that serving God becomes our greatest joy.
The forbidden fruit has sweet flavors but sour results. Why do we continue to indulge in the sin of this world when God has provided us with the joy of Christ within?
