Why Do Men Avoid Sin?

The man who does not sin of his own volition does so because he wishes to be a moral man, but still has to be weighed in the scale of justice against a perfect standard.

The man who does not sin for the fear of the wrath of God is like a criminal trying to make for a better court case through good works, but will still be found guilty when his life is judged.

The Christian who does not sin does so because he realizes that the price for his sins was the life of the Son of God Himself, and he would hate to heap any more weight on that cross.
