To sin offers repentance and forgiveness; not to sin offers only punishment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every painful consequence of sin is a part of the punishment meted out for sin.
Repentance allows God's mercy to come forth because it recognizes that the sin committed was against God. It also bares contriteness of the heart and the desire to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh so that particular sin will never be repeated.
As somebody once said, we're not punished for our sins, we're punished by them.
We are punished by our sins, not for them.
It is much easier to repent of sins that we have committed than to repent of those that we intend to commit.
Sin is basically a denial of God's right of possession.
The full benefit of forgiveness of sin through the Savior's Atonement begins with repentance and baptism and then expands upon receiving the Holy Ghost.
One is punished by the very things by which he sins.
There is no original sin. You don't have to pay repentance to anything or anybody.
A 'sin' is something which is not necessary.
