The Devil's Best Customers!
Thomas Brooks warns that immorality is a severe offense against God, leading to judgment and punishment in this life or the next.
Thomas Brooks warns about the severe consequences of immorality, emphasizing that while society may overlook such sins, God will ultimately judge them. He highlights that God's judgment can manifest in this life through suffering and misery, and if unrepented, leads to eternal damnation in the afterlife. Brooks poignantly describes the unchaste as 'the devil's best customers,' illustrating the ease with which sexual immorality can lead individuals to hell. He stresses the deceptive nature of such sins, which may seem pleasurable but result in dire spiritual consequences.
Text
"God will surely judge people who are immoral." Heb. 13:4
If men will not judge them, God Himself will, and give
them a portion of misery answerable to their transgression.
Sometimes He judges them in this life--by pouring forth of
His wrath upon their bodies, souls, consciences, names and
estates. But if He does not thus judge them in this life, He
will be sure to judge them in the life to come! Yes, He has
already adjudged them "to the fiery lake of burning sulfur,"
Revelation 21:8
The unchaste are the devil's best customers! Oh, the
thousands of men and women who are sent to hell for
immorality! Other sins are toilsome and troublesome,
but sexual immorality is pleasant, and sends men and
women merrily to hell!
