Sin Kills

(Proverbs 7:26 KJV)  For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

Sin has a number of steps.  Sin starts with temptation and ends up killing you.  Other verses deal with temptation and complicity.  I already wrote about the initial damage.  That leaves us the word “slain” (2026). 

Sin is not a benevolent dictator.  Sin destroys.  Sin kills.  You can take it figuratively or literally.  There comes a place where sin drags you so far down that there is no coming back.  Here it talks about sexual sin.  It could be gossip.  It could be deceit.  It could be sloth.

Sin leads to destruction now and death eternally.

So?  Just a reminder for you in your personal walk and in your concerns for others.  I would trust that if you are reading this you have taken steps of repentance and cleansing.  Don’t get complacent about your loved ones.  Don’t stop praying and witnessing.  Be a life saver.
