About this ebook
Sin is a deadly disease that has caused our world to be a place of doom. To this end, we must see sin as an enemy, and it must become bitter if we want Christ to become sweeter in our Christian life. The Puritan Theologian, Thomas Watson pondered and concluded that if Christ will become sweet, then sin must first become bitter to the soul. This might seem to be very easy to do but believe me, it is not! This is why I believe our Faithful Lord has given me the insight to pen this book that by reading, we may trust the Lord to complete His work He has started in our lives by showing us, step-by-step, in this book, how sin can become bitter in our lives. After going through this material, I do believe that sin being bitter and Christ being sweeter will be our lives not only in profession but also in our daily lives. Join me as we walk on this path together!

Author’s Preface
Millions of people have died very poorly. If I say they died poorly, I mean that they died without going to God and enjoying eternal rest but rather they headed to a place of eternal torment instead. The number of these people are many. They lived carelessly, and they have fooled themselves into thinking that what pierced the Son of God and gave Him a nail print in His feet and hands and also gave Him the spear wound was something they could play with and go scot-free. But this delusion has taken them to a place of doom, and it is sad and pathetic.
Today, as we live on this land, many are they that kid themselves that the land that their predecessors trod on and took them to the miserable place will take them to a blissful place and give them a happy ending. Oh, when will the simple get wisdom and the ignorant attain for himself knowledge? The sinful man journeys to a place where he will suffer a great harm and yet when he is going, he thinks that he is the wisest and the happiest among all the people in this world. Sin blinds them, and they so fall short to see the bitter ending. They play with fire whiles their gas is leaking. They light a match where petrol is exposed! Oh, their death is not far. Sin is a deadly disease which is far dangerous than HIV AIDS or Ebola, yet people go around buying sin. They spend their money on sin and invite sin into their homes, and at the end of the day, they so regret it!
Why will someone go and buy something that can kill him? The reason is, everyone wants to be happy and to be satisfied. We all long for something more. Many try to yield to the impulses of the flesh for in them, they enjoy the pleasures of sin. But little do these people know that there is someone who is sweeter than yielding to the impulses of the flesh.
Many ‘so-called’ Christians are not having this sweetness in this Person, so they too, sometimes, yield and fulfil the lust thereof. Due to this, I have sensed the need to write this short treatise and call forth my brothers and sisters who are seeking genuine delight and looking at the wrong place. Most importantly, I write to call forth those who have already professed faith in Christ and yet belittle sin and are deceiving their own souls because they live not in wisdom. UNTIL SIN BECOMES BITTER, Christ cannot become sweeter-—this was once said by the great puritan theologian, Thomas Watson and which has become the theme for this book. This is the secret to our lives as God’s creation and His people. If we wish to have eternal enjoyment, then sin must become bitter. I have indeed pondered about Watson’s statement, and I have found out that it is true and this discourse will prove to my reader why I do profess so.
Your Servant,
M. Y. Tano

Central Truth
Follow the steps of the godly instead, and stay on the right path, for only good men enjoy life to the full; evil men lose the good things they might have had, and they themselves shall be destroyed.
