Why is the subject of idolatry important for biblical counseling? Sin is the cause of the brokenness in this world. If sin is largely a result of our loving something other than God first in our hearts, as Martin Luther said, “If we obey the first two commandments, we will not disobey the rest.” Then, idolatry is the cause of many of our woes and a sin we must learn to recognize in ourselves so that we may repent of it as often as needed.
