Sin Quotes - Page 8

Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It's not my purpose to punish it; it's my joy to cure it.
William Paul Young
No matter what sin you find yourself in, turn to God. Let Him forgive, heal, and restore.
Craig Groeschel
Grin for the shin that's sin,You can't win herein, It's not a fault of mine, You drink wine

If you want to win a game of life, there is only one way — you must be unpredictable. Otherwise life will never forgive such a deadly sin.
Elmar Hussein
You weren’t going to tell us about Orsay?”“I didn’t say I—”“You don’t get to decide that, Sam. You’re not the only one in charge anymore. Okay?”Astrid had an icy sort of anger. A cold fury that manifested itself in tight lips and blazing eyes and short, carefully enunciated sentences.“But it’s okay for all of us to lie to everyone in Perdido Beach?” Sam shot back.“We’re trying to keep kids from killing themselves,” Astrid said. “That’s a little different from you just deciding not to tell the council that there’s a crazy girl telling people to kill themselves.”“So not telling you something is a major sin, but lying to a couple of hundred people and trashing Orsay at the same time, that’s fine?
Michael Grant
If your deepest feelings are reserved for something other than Almighty God, then that something other is an emotional idol... if you get more excited about material things than the simple yet profound fact that your sin was nailed to the cross by the sinless Son of God, then you're bowing down to Tammuz.
Mark Batterson
The appeal was so often the same: Make me comfortable so I can go on doing whatever I want to do. They wanted sin without consequences.
Francine Rivers
The sin we need to be concerned about is the sin in our own lives. It's the root of all human woe, the source of anguish.
Francine Rivers
... there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft.
Khaled Hosseini
One of the penalties of sin is our acceptance of it.
Oswald Chambers
One sin occurs, naturally; conversely, one happens unnaturally, having human permission, which poisons, and damages the moral values of the entire humanity, since it is the worst one.
Ehsan Sehgal
Sin compels man to do those things that are not pleasing to God
Sunday Adelaja
People are always ashamed of the misery that has befallen them, as though it were an act of divine retribution for a long-forgotten sin of theirs
Pascal Garnier
Not much has changed in the past 6,000 years. We still hide from God because we know we're naked.
Ron Brackin
Purpose, meaning, and hope are the edge of a coin; on one side is imprinted the image of God; and on the other is self … As complicated as life seems at times, the mystery of fulfillment and the paradox of contentment are as simple as that. What makes life complicated, I suspect, isn’t the choice between these two value systems and the paths they define, sin and holiness, so much as it is our unwillingness to make the choice between the two.
James Castleton
Sin gains power over us not by its indomitable force but by our divided heart.
Bryan Chapell
It’s impossible to know what sin is if we don’t know what God says.
Jacquelle Crowe
The distance between your head and your heart is only twelve inches, but it's the difference between information and transformation. It's not enough to invite Jesus into your mind. You have to open the door to your heart of hearts. No door can remain locked. Even the door to your hidden room.Nothing entangles the emotions like sin. And if you sin long enough, it feels like a Gordian knot that seems impossible to untangle. But Jesus Christ went to the cross to undo what you have done. He broke the curse of sin so you can break the cycle of sin.
Mark Batterson
Sin is all wrong doing.

The Wages Of Sin Is Death
Sunday Adelaja
On Virtue – When people want to describe the hideousness of a person or object, they may use the phrase ‘ugly as sin’. But the phrase should be ‘ugly as virtue’. Sin isn’t ugly. It’s highly attractive! That’s why so many people flock to it.
Marsha Hinds
If now we attend to ourselves on occasion of any transgression of duty, we shall find that we in fact do not will that our maxim should be universal law, for that is impossible for us; on the contrary, we will that the opposite should remain a universal law, only we assume the liberty of making an exception in our own favor or (just for this time only) in favor of our inclination. Consequently, if we considered all cases from one and the same point of view, namely, that of reason, we should find a contradiction in our own will, namely, that a certain principle should be objectively necessary as a universal law, and yet subjectively should not be universal, but admit of exceptions. As, however, we at one moment regard our action from the point of view of a will wholly conformed to reason, and then again look at the same action from the point of view of a will affected by inclination, there is not really any contradiction, but an antagonism of inclination to the precept of reason, whereby the universality of the principle is changed into mere generality, so that the practical principle of reason shall meet the maxim half way. Now, although this cannot be justified in our own impartial judgement, yet it proves that we do really recognize the validity of the categorical imperative and (with all respect for it) only allow ourselves a few exceptions which we think unimportant and forced from us.
Immanuel Kant
Pride keeps you from dealing with truth. It distorts your vision. You never change when you think everything is fine. Pride hardens your heart and dims the eyes of your understanding. It keeps you from the change of heart--repentance--that will set you free.
John Bevere
Sin as little as possible-that is the law of mankind. Not to sin at all is the dream of the angel. All earthly things are subject to sin. Sin is like gravity.
Victor Hugo
I shouldn’t complain about God’s mercy to others while thanking Him for His mercy to me. I shouldn’t commit the sin of pride by justifying my rebellion or my running from God compared to other people’s sin. Who am I to be angry at what the angels in Heaven rejoice in?
Teresa Schultz
...It is the one time Dante calls such explicit attention to the idea of contrapasso-a word for which we have no exact translation, no precise definition in English, because the word in itself is its definition... Well, my dear Longfellow, I would say countersuffering ... the notion that each sinner must be punished by continuing the damage of his own sin against him... just as these Schismatics are cut apart...
Matthew Pearl
It's like an addiction, one I battle every day. It appeared at first drink. I was becoming the very thing I feared---my father's son. I wanted to be as far away from that Threshold as possible. I swore I'd never take another sip, no matter how crazy it made me. No matter how much it called to me. Resisting became easier with time.
Sara Ella
...[I]f at the time of its release the soul is tainted and impure, because it has always associated with the body and cared for it and loved it, and has been so beguiled by the body and its passions and pleasures that nothing seems real to it but those physical things which can be touched and seen and eaten and drunk and used for sexual enjoyment; and if it is accustomed to hate and fear and avoid what is invisible and hidden from our eyes, but intelligible and comprehensible by philosophy - if the soul is in this state, do you think that it will escape independent and uncontaminated?
Socrates
Any darkness that comes out in my life is the fruit of my own appetites, and it's my choice either to feed or starve those appetites. I was purposely feeding on music and movies with dark, violent themes and plenty of sexual content. All of that takes root in our thought lives and affects everything we do. It clouds our communication with God and can limit how he uses us. If someone is in a dark place and needs help, we're probably not going to have suitable answers when we're gorging on trash.
Mark Hall
Be sure your sin will find you out...Be sure.
Stephen King
Without confession, there is no remission of sins.
Lailah Gifty Akita
It is better to seek purity than the pleasure of sin.
Lailah Gifty Akita
The desires of the flesh leads to sin.
Lailah Gifty Akita
The quest to sin always knocks at the door of the heart, but behold! You have the right and will to open your door or never to mind the knocks, no matter how intense it is!
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Lucifer was engraving Nate’s name on a cage right now.
Kelly Moran
Where there’s no free will, there’s no sin.
Claudia Gray
We sin not because we do not love Christ at all but because we don’t love him above all.
Bryan Chapell
Some men drink the blood of other men, all I drink is wine.
Mohsin Hamid
Bertha divined what an enormous wrong had been wrought against the world in that the longing for pleasure is placed in woman just as in man; and that with women that longing is a sin, demanding expiation, if the yearning for pleasure is not at the same time a yearning for motherhood.
Arthur Schnitzler
The sinner I was expecting was guilty of pride, lust and spiritual despair, not merely of sloth and ineptitude. This was the diary of a nobody. So I nearly censored January to June 1933 in the interests of Grandpa's glamour as a Gothic personage. But in truth this is what we should be exposed to - the awful knowledge that when they're not breaking the commandments, the anti-heroes are mending their tobacco pipes and listening to the wireless.
Lorna Sage
Life is like the drama on a stage.What was once declared as a sin, perhaps much worse nowadays.
Toba Beta
A sheep without a shepherd, go astray.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Uncertain way of gain. But I am inSo far in blood that sin will pluck on sin.Tear-falling pity dwells not in this eye.
William Shakespeare
I lay on my side with my head on the pillows and looked out of the window; the blue of the sky was so clear it almost hurt. I felt it come again. I didn't cry much, just a few tears rolling down, wetting my eyes. I wondered about the cause. My thoughts lay embedded in sinews and skin, beyond my reach. Those of you who believe yourselves to be clean, without sin, without guilt, may cast the first stone. I saw myself under a heap of stones.
Hanne Ørstavik
Being different is not a sin, but intolerance is.
Marty Rubin
Why does God ask traumatized people to look at the trauma they initiated through their sin and rebellion? For the same reason God asks us to: it is the truth, and we are free only when we lift up the truth.
Daniel Hill
The unspiritual is a slave to sin.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Curiosity is also my worst vice, and once stirred one not to be denied.
Anthony Ryan
Jesus Christ. This is what sin feels like," he rasped. "Wrong and right, at the same time. Life and death. Blond, long-legged, and tight.
Tessa Bailey
But the world doesn't run on logic, it runs on the seven deadly sins and the weather. - Alan Furst; Red Gold
