Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sin is, somehow, at the root of all human misery. Sin is what keeps us from God and from life. It is in the face of every battered woman, the cry of every neglected child, the despair of every addict, the death of every victim of every war.
Sin pulls a man down into despondency and despair.
Sin leads to wickedness and to hearts that become hardened to things of the Spirit.
Sin is whatever obscures the soul.
Prosperity often leads to pride, which leads to sin.
Sorrow for sin is indeed necessary, but it should not be an endless preoccupation. You must dwell also on the glad remembrance of God's loving-kindness; otherwise, sadness will harden the heart and lead it more deeply into despair.
For any sin, we all suffer. That is why our suffering is endless.
There's nothing heavier than the weight of sin in our lives. It's crushing. What a luxury to know the burden of it can be lifted off our shoulders if we repent and give it to God.
Every painful consequence of sin is a part of the punishment meted out for sin.
The only sin is mediocrity.
