Every step in sin is a step to misery, and the further any man proceedeth on in sin, the further he wanders from God; and the further he wanders from God, the nearer he comes to misery. As the further we go from the Sun, the nearer we are to the cold, and the further we go from the fountain, the nearer we are to drought; so they that hast to sin, hast to sorrow, yea to hell. Solomon saith of such, they love death. There is no man loves death under the notion of death, there is no beauty, no amiableness in death; but all they may be said to love death, who love sin, and live in it. Every motion towards sin, is a hasting into the arms and embraces of death, sinners woo and invite death and the grave, yea hell and destruction.
Every step in sin is a step to misery, and the further any man proceedeth on in sin, the further he wanders from God; and the further he wanders from God, the neerer he comes to misery. As the further we goe from the Sun, the neerer we are to the cold, and the further we go from the fountaine, the nearer we are to drought; so they that hast to sin, hast to sorrow, yea to hell. Solomon saith of such, they love death. There is no man loves death under the notion of death, there is no beauty, no amiableness in death; but all they may be said to love death, who love sin, and live in it. Every motion towards sin, is a hasting into the armes and embraces of death, sinners wooe and invite death and the grave, yea hell and destruction.
Thirdly, note.
The warnings and admonitions which God gives to sinful man, whether waking or sleeping are to keep him from perishing, to keep him from temporal, to keep him from eternal perishing.
