Sometimes people think that sin means having fun, and that Christians are sad people with all sorts of rules that interfere with enjoying life. Not so! Here’s what the Bible says:
“But he who sins against me injures himself; All those who hate me love death.” Proverbs 8:36
In the end, sin will not make us happy. Samuel Shaw (1635–1696), an English nonconformist minister. describes it this way:
“Sin itself is hell, and death, and misery to the soul, as being a departure from goodness and holiness itself; I mean from God, in conjunction with whom the happiness, and blessedness, and heaven of a soul doth consist. Avoid it, therefore, as you would avoid being miserable.“
Sin leads to a life of pain, regret, and ultimately separation from God; the righteous enjoy peace, now and forever. Which will you choose?
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 6:23
