Sin is Opposition....

The one thing about a life without God, constantly reveling in sin, is it will eventually destroy you. There’s no way to sugar coat it. Living a sinful lifestyle will eventually send you to an early grave, devastating you, robbing you of any hope. The reason people who live these types of lives suffer from depression, and have higher rates of suicide and drug abuse is simply the fact that regardless of how you “feel” about sin, even if society accepts it, your soul knows the wages of sin. It knows it’s wrong. It knows a life without God is really no life at all. Sin destroys. It’s what it does, regardless of what people try to tell you. Sin is opposition to God. It will never win, not even once. Knowing God disapproves of your behavior should be a deterrent to stop, but unfortunately our nature and Satan fight against doing what is right. This leaves us in a state of despair, with no solution, with no joy, and with no hope. It’s no wonder why the pharmaceutical companies that make anti-depressants are thriving. Anything to escape the reality of the situation. And worse yet, trying to gain acceptance only compounds the issue.

43 Again and again He rescued them, but they chose to rebel against Him, and they were finally destroyed by their sin. Psalms 106:43
