God loved the people of the world so much, that He gave His only begotten son to suffer the penalty justice demands for our sins which was death, so He could offer you eternal life which means we would be with him in glory forever without sin. We should rejoice in God's mercy and love, but we should not forget that sin is a terrible thing. Sin is not just a list of things God has arbitrarily determined to be against. Sin is bad. Even if there was no God, sin would still be bad. God is against sin because it separate us from God. The Bible is clear that sin is deadly. All sin eventually brings forth death. I don't mean that sin results in punishment but that sin produces death and loss. Sin leads to death. Sin is also deceptive. It can sometimes tantalize by offering pleasure for a season.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Roman 6:23).
