Romans 6:23
For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
When you work, you are entitled to some
sort of compensation – your wage or your salary. When you deliver some personal service, you
believe you are entitled to some gratuity or tips – your wage for the service
given. Wage is something that you get in
return for all services or products offered to someone who gained from it. Something that you are entitled to.
What about in our spiritual lives – what is
the wage that we are entitled to? St.
Paul is clear when he said that since we are sinners, our wage is death –
nothing more, nothing less. Because of
our sinful nature, brought by Adam and Eve’s sins, we are all doomed to suffer
in hell, detached forever from enjoying the peace and joy that Heaven offers.
But God will not take it sitting down. He would want us to experience heaven. He wants us to experience His love – forever
and ever and ever. That is why He sent
His Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die for all our sins. And Jesus paid the ransom so we may all be
saved from Satan. And this gift from God
would ensure us of eternal life with Him – forever and ever and ever. Joy and peace in heaven, as promised.
God is life. To be away from God means to
be away from life. To be away from God means to be in the presence of death. Accept His most precious gift, his Son Jesus
Christ, so there will be no more crying, mourning and pain. Because of Jesus we have spiritual life – a
gift of life.
Let us pray +
Help me father I do pray help your children
find their way. Let them open their
hearts with care. Let their eyes open
wide, and see Your love that's inside. To
you father I do pray, for is near the judgment day. Amen +
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
