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

The man who does ill, ill must suffer too.

AESCHYLUS

fragment


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.

JEFFREY HEYDEN-KAYE

"Let's talk about sin, shall we?", Bashaw Star, August 10, 2017


Sin is a black foil, but it setteth off the jewelry of heaven.

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


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.

Thoughts for the Thoughtful

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.

A sin is wrong not because it makes you feel bad--though it should--but because it is wrong.

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


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

Tags: Anne Bradstreet


When deep slumber falls, remembered sins
Chafe the sore heart with fresh pain, and no
Welcome wisdom meets within.

AESCHYLUS

Agamemnon


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.

Some sins, like asps, always carry their sting with them.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit


Sin is the failure of a fallible creature; and reversible by repentance.

BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE

Moral and Religious Aphorisms


Sin in its ordinary progress first deceives, next hardens, and then destroys.

If you are going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy. God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won't.

HYMAN G. RICKOVER

The New York Times, November 3, 1986


If God didn't forgive sinners, Heaven would be empty.

ANONYMOUS


God planteth in mortal men the cause of sin whensoever he wills utterly to destroy a house.

AESCHYLUS

Tags: Aeschylus


Christians get very angry toward other Christians who sin differently than they do.
