Sin has consequences.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians 6:7-8

But He shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. -Luke 13:27-28

All sin is serious. All sin is terrible. All sin is destructive. All sin is deadly. Oh may we pray for eyes to see how awful, how terrible all sin is, and to be enabled to
turn from it by God's grace! And more than that, may we pray for Him to shew us what is sin in His eyes. For "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." -Proverbs 21:2
Quicken Thou our hearts, O God,
In earnestness I plead!
Let sin and all it's "pleasures"
Become our greatest grief.
Quicken Thou our hearts, O God,

Who can understand his errors? cleanse Thou me
from secret faults.

Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because
they keep not Thy law.
