Based on Romans 1:28
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
By worshipping visible things and rejecting the law of God, people become so warped in their thinking that there is nothing too low that they would not do it. God's people are no different when they prefer to give their attention to earthly things and ignore God's requirements.
We sin by doing things that are against God's law when in our minds we think that sin is the best way to fulfil our desires. We sin because our thinking is wrong, and God allows this to happen because we choose this when we do not spend time thinking about God. When we think about God - learn more about him from reading his word and think about what we have read about him - our minds are cleaned, our desire to sin is weakened and victory is the result. We are inclined not to retain God in our knowledge, so we must ask for the desire to think about Jesus, and if we ask and get to work doing it it will be given to us.
Even though God does not want us to have warped minds, he gives us freedom to choose, and if we do not want to think about him he will not force us. If you are interested to know more about God, read the Holy Bible and think about what you read. If you are worried you are not interested enough, pray for interest and get started, you may not feel anything, but Jesus has won you the privilege of supernatural power from the Holy Spirit, and your prayer will be answered.
