It could be argued many ways.

"Shall we go on sinning? BY NO MEANS! If you continue sinning, no sacrifice for sin is left"

Every night I can't help but wonder, what if I don't wake up tomorrow?
I tend to lean towards a belief in a wrathful God, and even though I believe, I expect no mercy. I fully expect to be thrown into the deepest layer of hell.

Discuss.
i don't really buy into the whole hellfire thing - the whole thing smells too much like a scare tactic. and the idea of being "faithful" just to avoid punishment or God's wrath seems very juvenile to me. that's the kind of incentive kids are motivated by, not grown-ups...

but still...cause and effect is a universal law. every action has consequences. so i wouldn't be surprised if the way you live your life now could have a positive or negative bearing on your "afterlife", whatever it might be. the idea seems to be prevalent in a lot of different religions. so there's definitely something to it...
