Deceitfulness of Sin

DECEITFULNESS OF SIN. — What fruit had ye? — There is no real fruit in sin; the promises thereof are all false and deceitful. Gehazi promised himself gain, but got the leprosy. Balaam pursued honor, but met with the sword. Achan found a wedge of gold, but it cleaved asunder his soul from his body. The only fruit of sin is shame if we repent, and death if we do not repent.
