“The Lord Would Not Always Suffer Them to Take Happiness in Sin”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Wickedness may produce fleeting moments of pleasure or happiness, but there ultimately comes a day of reckoning wherein sin-produced pleasure will be replaced with shame and sorrow (see Job 20:5; 3 Nephi 27:11). Living a life in opposition to God and his ways is contrary to the very nature of hapiness and will always end in misery and unhappiness (see Alma 41:10-11; Alma 42:15-16).
