When we sin, we are trying to steal from God what He has already given us for free. However, we fail to hold on to it. We give into the lie that money, sex, popularity or things will bring us joy. It's not that these things are inherently evil, but we think that they are what will give us joy. Instead of joy we get death because these things were not meant to fulfill us in the first place. God is the one who fulfills us. God is the one who satisfies us.
John 10:10, "The thief [satan] comes only to steal and kill and destroy, but I [Jesus] came that they might have life and have it abundantly.
