#12 Romans 6:23 NIV

Romans 6:23 NIV

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

10/25/06-10/27/06

The consequence of sin death. We have all earned death since we have all sinned. But God offers us the gift of eternal life, of a right relationship with Him through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It is a gift and not something we have earned, must earn, can earn, or will earn. A gift by it’s very nature is free and unearned. To attempt to repay someone who gives is an insult, it is to reject the gift as it was given.
