Thomas Watson said: what fools are they, who, for a moment of pleasure, drink a sea of wrath. Sin gratifies for a moment but God’s wrath, if left unconfessed, lasts forever. How important it is to remember that sin lurks at every opportunity. It endeavors to pop its heinous face at every instance in our lives to tempt us and thrust us down as its companion to hell. Even as believers we must strive to flee temptations because of a healthy fear of dishonoring the glory and holiness of God. How wise we would be to remember that sin pleases for a moment but holiness benefits for eternity. Pleasures are gratified temporarily but godliness is befitting for us which will last eternally.
Hear the words of Watson again: what fools are they, who, for a moment of pleasure, drink a sea of wrath.
