Look to the cross and hate your sin, for sin nailed your well-beloved to the tree. As salt tinges every drop in the ocean, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. Sin murdered Christ, and will you be a friend to it? He who does not hate sin, does not love God. Sin is the greatest evil in the universe. No sin is a little sin because it is committed against a great god. Sin is the leprosy of the soul which defiles everything it touches. Sin is the poison of the universe. Death and damnation are its sure result. Sin is the mother and nurse of all evil. It is the egg from which every evil is hatched. If you would see the true nature of sin, then look to the Saviour, scourged, bleeding, dying on the cross. Sin is self-damnation. To pursue sin is to run into hell with your eyes wide open. The sin that you excuse today will be your master tomorrow. Sin is worse than the devil himself, for sin made the devil what he is. Sin is the murderer of peace and the destroyer of hope. The smallest sin is an act of cosmic treason against the king of kings. Sin is a serpent. Beware how you handle it, for its fangs are deadly. Sin blinds the eye, hardens the heart, and sears the conscience. If sin were not so terrible, then hell wouldn't be so dreadful. Sin may look sweet, but it is deadly poison disguised as honey. Sin is not only an enemy to God, but the greatest enemy to your own soul. Sin is the seed and damnation is the harvest. The sinner's laughter today will become weeping tomorrow. Sin thrives on excuses and dies in the presence of repentance. Sin never comes alone. It always brings a host of sorrows with it. If sin were truly seen as it is, we would flee from it as from a poisonous viper.
