Instinct

Instinct is defined as an innate urge, rooted in natural conditioning rather than reason. The above quote is true if the heart is scripture based. Scripture likens sinners to creatures of instinct. (Jeremiah 17:7-10,Proverbs 1:17, Jeremiah 8:7) It seems the bible considers instinct to be an animal trait more than a human trait when God is not present. The key here is the natural conditioning. This speaks to the survival instinct. There are times when the survival instinct kicks in with situations we encounter in our lives. This is not always with God present. Our lives must be deeply rooted in the belief that God exists and Jesus is our savior. Jesus set aside all instincts and became totally dependant on God for everything. (Luke 42:22) That goes against all natural instincts we follow. (Psalms 51:17) It takes the sacrifice of a broken spirit to follow as Christ did. (Matthew 20:17-28) That is the opposite of what the world teaches. Read the passages given here to understand what that means. Instinct can be a moral safety net if Christian based or a pit for the sinner when it is totally human based. Where you go in life determines the instincts you will follow.
