The children of God know what sin is, but do not in most cases know what the snares of sin are. This is the very dangerous aspect of not wanting to be led by the Spirit.
The world at large and eveything that constitute it's glory are snares of sin. The culture, the politics, the commerce, the religion, society, education, music , technology, fashion and the accompanied glamour, armament and social violence, wealth and the glamour of riches and in all summed together, the worries of life.
All these and more constitute our worries and eagerness of life and as we run after these life style, we do nothing but to please ourselves and not to please God. This is the gate of hell.
In most cases, by our ways of thinking we extol the vices that constitute these snares of sin , making them to appear as virtues. This we do when we regard such as having great advantages for our survival in the material world rather than the upliftment of our spiritual life.
From the book The Battle Destined to Fight by Rev. B.E. Ajibola
