This document discusses the negative consequences of choosing a life of sin and rejecting God. It asserts that the path of transgressors is difficult, leading to bitterness, a hardened heart, death, judgment, losing everything, and a wasted life. In contrast, it promotes choosing God by believing, repenting, confessing faith, being baptized, and remaining faithful according to the Bible. The overall message is that a sinful life will result in negative outcomes, but it is not too late to accept God.

hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had
laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and

from sin. But the sweetness of sin turns to
bitterness, and the transgressor finds out that sin
never permanently satisfies

he goes on in sin.

longer feels the need for Jesus

late to be saved.

your sin will find you out.”

unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death”

will never have to give an account of their lives to
God.

• Prov 12:15 “The Bible says, “The way of a fool
is right in his own eyes: but he that
hearkeneth unto counsel is wise”

he shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul? or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?”

of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine:
the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”

knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and
instruction”
