(Samuel Davies "Religion the Highest Wisdom, and Sin the Greatest Madness and Folly")
"What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world—yet loses his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
Do you esteem the pleasures of sin so sweet, so solid, so lasting—as to run the risk of intolerable, eternal misery—rather than part with them?
He is a mad-man with whom fleeting fleshly pleasures, the sordid pleasures of sin—outweigh an eternity of perfect happiness. He is certainly not in his right mind—who would rather be tormented in hell forever—than lead a holy life, and labor to escape the wrath to come!

"Oh, what folly it is: for a cup of pleasure—drink a sea of wrath! Sin will be bitter in the end. The pleasure of sin is soon gone—but the sting remains!" Thomas Watson
