Sin Is The Cause Of All ... Sorrow, Unhappiness, Strife, Wars, Quarrels, Contentions, Sickness And Death!

The sinfulness of sin

(J.C. Ryle)

"In order that by means of the 
Commandment the unspeakable 
sinfulness of sin might be plainly 
shown."     Romans 7:13

The Christianity which is from 

the HOLY SPIRIT, will always
have avery deep view of
 the sinfulness of sin. 

It will not merely regard sin as
a blemish and misfortune, which
makes men and women objects
of pity and compassion.

It will see sin as . . .
  the curse which cursed GOD'S beautiful creation,
  the cursed thing which makes the whole earth
       groan and struggle in pain,
  the abominable thing which GOD hates,
  the thing which makes people guilty
      and lost in his MAKER'S sight,
  the thing which deserves GOD'S
      eternal wrath and condemnation.

It will look on sin as the cause of all . . .
 sorrow and unhappiness,
 strife and wars,
 quarrels and contentions,
 sickness and death!

Above all, it will see in sin
the thing which will . . .
  ruin us eternally--
    unless we can find a ransom,
  lead us captive--
    unless we can get its chains broken, and
    destroy our happiness, both here and hereafter--
    unless we fight against it, even unto death.
