Indeed, in our world and in our present reality, misfortune falls on everyone at some point. However, in our present reality there is a cost to sin. Conversely, there is a benefit to living a right or righteous life. In our world, those persons who live in sin bring more misfortune upon themselves than do those who maintain a life of righteousness or right living. The wages of sin is not only death in the body but also death in the soul.
Sin brings trauma in person's lives.
No matter how much the sinners of the world want to cover up this fact or paper over it, sin has a cost. The terrible tragedy of the cost of sin is that the cost of sin reaches out and hurts or destroys persons who may not have committed a particular sin. A father or mother who commit adultery while still married hurt his or her spouse and children in the marriage. When we look at who is hurt in this instance, the lives of the children are damaged by someone else's sin. In addition, the non-offending spouse is hurt by the sin of the other person.
