The second thing we learn from this passage is the fact that our sin is costly. It was because of our sin. We live in a world that is constantly making light of sin. We laugh about it, we play with it, we excuse it, we even encourage and play with it. The idea is that humans are expected to sin . . .
Sin is costly.
It robs us of God's fellowship. It destroys our joy. It cost the life of the precious Son of God. Think about a person who has served in the military. They were on the battlefield.
