IN A SIN …

Desire
Deceit
Temptation
Selfishness
Disobedience
Price or Wage
…Should Not Deceive Anyone or Be Ignored
Because, Though There May Be Pleasure in Sin, There’s Hidden Sorrow &
Agony!
Consider this a gentle reminder with simplicity!
I take it for granted that
everyone knows what sin is. What may be different from person to person is in
the way we perceive it, as in size/magnitude, degree/level, and circumstances.
This, however does not change sin’s essential nature and effect, much less
change God’s eye-view and his response to it. The Bible is crystal-clear about
that. Right from beginning Genesis 3v14; 19v15; Leviticus
5v17; through
the prophets Isaiah 5v18; Lamentations 3v39; 4v22; Amos
1v9; across into
the NT Matthew 25v46; Romans 6v23; Ephesians
5v6; 2Thessalonians
1v9; 1John
3v4; Jude
1v7; to the
end Revelation 2v22. What makes
many people yield or fall is a departure from and failure for such serious reflection
or consideration. To be still and perhaps ask, “What really is in sin and what does
it lead to? What will be the effect?” Sin begets sin. We ought to avoid it at
any cost; never even entertain it. God simply commands, “sin not”! Exodus 20v20; Psalm 4v4; 1Corinthians 15v34; 1Jn 2v1.
