3. COULD COST THE DEATH OF GOD’S SON

   The wages of sin is eternal punishment, resulting in separation from God forever.

ARE THE PLEASURES OF SIN WORTH THE PRICE OF SIN?

Hebrews 11:25
The fleeting pleasures of sin are temporary, but the consequences of sin are eternal. It prompts the question: are the temporary pleasures worth the eternal consequences? The cost of sin is much greater than its fleeting appeal.
