Ezekiel 12:2

Son of man, you live among a rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, who have ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious people.  

God is a love, God. Sin rebels against the love and goodness of God, deceiving many.  The problem with sin is that it blinds the eyes instead of opening them.  We can’t hear from God in sin and rebellion and then walk paths towards God, but we walk paths away.  Freedom for our lives only comes when we walk in the light of the Word of God.
