https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/the-sin-of-insecurity/
It may be counterintuitive, but according to the Bible, insecurity is what Paul calls “confidence in the flesh.” But how does it make sense that insecurity and confidence can be related? Every coin has two sides. On the top side, confidence in the flesh is the self-assurance that comes from possessing those attributes that supposedly determine worthiness. But the bottom side of the coin is just as dangerous: the insecurity that comes from not possessing them. In both cases, we place our confidence in personal attributes we think bring life.
Well, it's just primally desired "sinful nature" is really just primal nature in motion.
Even if this message comes from cuck christianity I find it very insightful in the right context.
