Why Sin Must be Avoided
1 Peter 3:10-11
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:…


1. God is thereby dishonoured (1 Samuel 15:23).

2. God's wrath is provoked, and that must needs be dangerous (Psalm 106:29; Jeremiah 7:17).

3. God hates it and such as commit it (Psalm 5:4; Deuteronomy 28:15; Leviticus 26:14)

4. It brought misery into the world, with shame and confusion upon all, and hath always been the cause of all evils.

5. It bringeth eternal destruction both of body and soul.

(John Rogers.)
