What sin does
Sin spoils
Sin is like an ugly blot on a clean page. Being selfish, lazy, thoughtless,
telling lies and dirty stories ruins your character. Sin destroys the happiness
of a home and friendship.

Sin spreads
Sin is like weeds in a garden; if not rooted out, they will soon
overrun it. Little acts of dishonesty and disobedience soon become habits
we cannot break.

Sin separates
Sin is like a thick cloud which blots out the sun. That is why God
seems miles away. He is pure and holy. He hates sin. He cannot and will
not look at sin. It blocks the way to him. Sin cuts you off from God in
this life and in the life to come. Be quite clear about this; hell is a
grim and dreadful reality for all who reject Jesus Christ in this life.

What are you going to do about it? You
cannot remove the barrier. You cannot save yourself. Trying to help others
and doing good cannot remove this barrier either. If sin results in our
being cut off from God, is there no hope for us? Has God washed his hands
of us?
