"SOME IMMEDIATE RESULTS OF SIN" - "SELECTED"

         1. Fear of Jehovah  (Gen. 3:10)

         2. Shame

         3. Moral deterioration. This is seen in Adam's case-----

                      BLIGHT OF SIN

       Sin has been a blight in the world.

       View the broken--hearted husband as he follows the

         corpse of his wife to the grave, the mother as she

         touches her lips to the cold brow of her babe in the 

        embrace of death, or hear her wail as she sees her

        son marched off to prison; see the pain sickness,

        heartaches, tears and sorrows of earth, and know that

        they are the result of sin.

     Behold the rose as she breathes her sweet

       perfume; reach forth your hand to pluck the flower and

       feel the prick of the thorn, and know that briars and 

       thorns are the result of sin.

    Some men love darkness rather than light because

       their deeds are evil.

    Most sins are committed in the night, and in covert

       and secret places.

   Germs and vermin of all kinds thrive in the darkness -

      they can not live in the sunlight.

   Neither can sin abide in your heart if you allow GOD"S

      word to illuminate it.

   Why will men cleave to a life of sin when such fatal

      results always follow?
