IT SAYS, "SIN MAKES YOU UNHAPPY"

It is true that, "sin makes you unhappy." But that is not the actual cost of sin. A children's Bible Storybook says that after they had sinned, "God... had a serious talk with them," and their, "disobedience would cause them much sadness," and the writer of the children's book went on to say, "It is still true today: sin makes people unhappy."

Actually, Adam's sin corrupted, polluted and condemned the entire human race, brought death into the world, put the world and the human race in opposition to God, brought rebellion, divisiveness and war between man and God and between man and man, and would be the reason that God would give His Son to die for the sins of the world.
God says that sin separates us from God... forever.
When God confronts us about our sin and our eternal soul, He is having more than a, "serious talk with us." He is warning us, passing judgment on our sins, condemning us and filling us with fear and godly sorrow.
God not only tells us that our sins have condemned us, He tells us that our sins will take us into deeper corruption and move us even farther from God.
Sin does not only make us unhappy it condemns us to an eternity of pain and misery and it destroys the lives of the ones we love (parents, siblings, grand's, friends).

Yes, we need to be wise in sharing these terrible truths with children, but changing the message to the terms of this story is actually more harmful to the children than the facts of the story.

The story line goes on to give us more information about the consequences of sin, but the initial message was far from accurate.
