The Mischief of Sin Thomas Watson

If we give enough thought to the implications of sin in our lives, it would probably take us years to list all the results and consequences of man's sinfulness - from impure thoughts to evil actions, from dirty speech to violence, from personal to society decay, from a life spent on vain pursuits to a sorrowful death. But sin is even more destructive to man; it affects our very souls and, were it not Christ to come into this fallen world and die on the cross to save us, our eternal destination would have been hell. Hell forever; disaster and suffering without end; total darkness, unlimited pain, and unrestrained evil. In this little book, Thomas Watson calls us to consider this topic with the sobriety and earnestness of those who really care for their own lives and souls. He calls us to prayerfully search our hearts, as he unfolds that the Bible describes as the sinfulness of sin. Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686) was a Puritan preacher and author, known for his sound expositions of the Scriptures. This book has been originally published in 1671. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and updated for modern readers.
