quotations about sin
So sin is a theological concept -- it is fundamentally about our relationship with God. Sin distances us from God and the life God intends for us.

"Let's talk about sin, shall we?", Bashaw Star, August 10, 2017
The wages of sin are unreported.
ANONYMOUS
He that hath sinned
In body, word, or thought,
Or in anything
That is called sinful,
Doing not that which is righteous,
But doing much that is unrighteous--
This fool after the dissolution of the body,
Shall go to perdition.
GAUTAMA BUDDHA
Iti-Vuttaka
Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.
JOHN R. RICE
The Ruin of a Christian
It's beginning to start...
When you're lying like a tart
Oh sin in my heart
When you grovel at my feet
Oh sin in my heart
It's short and sweet
SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES
"Sin in My Heart"
One carries the sins of his forebears as one carries their features in his face. One bears their blood, and their honor or their blight.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO & CHUCK HOGAN
The Fall
Sin in its ordinary progress first deceives, next hardens, and then destroys.
JOHN THORNTON
Maxims and Directions for Youth
Sin is the exact opposite of love. Love means harmony; sin, discord. Love is constructive; sin, destructive. Love clings to God as a Father, as Jesus did. Sin would murder God if it could, as it murdered Jesus on Calvary.
REUEN THOMAS
Thoughts for the Thoughtful
Sin first is pleasing, then frequent, then habitual, then confirmed; then the man is impenitent, then he is obstinate, then he is resolved never to repent, and then he is ruined.
ROBERT LEIGHTON
attributed, Day's Collacon
Wickedness comes to its height by degrees. He that dares say of a less sin, Is it not a little one? will ere long say of a greater, Tush, God regards it not!
ANNE BRADSTREET
Meditations Divine and Moral
A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.
A. W. TOZER
And He Dwelt Among Us: Teachings From the Gospel of John
You know some religious scholars believe that when faced with overwhelming temptation you should commit a small sin just to relieve the pressure a bit.
BREE DESPAIN
The Dark Divine
Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
FRANCIS QUARLES
Emblems
If one could wallow amid filth for half a life and then wash himself clean in a day, then sin would be no worse than dirt on the hands which water can cleanse in a minute. Repentance may begin instantly, but reformation often requires a sphere of years.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
There was no point in waiting until the next world. You had to do everything now, every kind of sin.
ANNE RICE
Memnoch the Devil
Old sin makes new shame.
HAVELOCK THE DANE
The Lay of Havelock the Dane: Composed in the Reign of Edward I about AD 1280
Sin is sweet in the mouth and bitter in digestion. It lies hard on the stomach.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
A sin is wrong not because it makes you feel bad--though it should--but because it is wrong.
S. M. STIRLING
The Sunrise Lands
To make it evident that Sin is a great evil, we need but reflect a little on the nature and effects of it. If we inquire into the nature of Sin, we shall find that it is founded in the subversion of the dignity, and defacing the beauty of human nature: And that it consists in the darkness of our understanding, the depravity of our affections, and the feebleness and impotence of the will.
WELLINS CALCOTT
Thoughts Moral and Divine
God planteth in mortal men the cause of sin whensoever he wills utterly to destroy a house.
