THE GIFT
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Encouraging Words
So many people focus on the first half of this verse that they forget the power of the second half. It is clear throughout the scriptures that we all sin. We do not measure up to the standard that God has set for us. Because of that sin, no matter how minor, we are still separated from God. However, Jesus, who was fully God and fully man, never sinned and gave His life so that the grip that death had on us would be destroyed. He gives us eternal life as a gift through His work done for His Father. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
