“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” – Romans 6:23
It takes an act of foolery to err against another and not expect some form of retribution in return.
Do wrong against your fellow man and vengeance awaits, more often than not.
Default in an organization and disciplinary actions kick in.
Break the law in any given land and know for sure that only God can rescue you from prosecution.
All of these offences, in most cases, would ordinarily constitute an offence against God as well.
However, with the Almighty comes an additional set of rules.
These, by scriptural standards, mostly also attract punishments or rewards far weightier than what any living being can assimilate.
The punishments therein are the components of that popular phrase – the wages of sin.
The takeaway?
Knowing this truth as depicted in the scriptures behoves us to ensure we accord higher levels of priority to obeying God’s laws than that given to men’s rules.
For with God, it’s either death for disobedience or life for obedience, to eternity.
But how can death be avoided, for great are our sins and the heights of our disobedience?
And how shall this life even to eternity be obtained, especially if we know not about the Gift of God?
Well, here goes that announcement you’ve possibly been missing out on or ignoring since you started differentiating your left from your right.
Jesus Christ is that great and immeasurable Gift of God to all of the human race.
He is that embodiment of grace and mercy required to escape the wrath reserved for our ‘rebellion’.
No Jesus, no life! It doesn’t come any simpler than this.
Now that you know, what next?
Jesus Christ awaits you with His warm embrace.
Run to Him today and live – forever.
Remain blessed.
