đ§ˇRom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Our Lord has such a great gift for all us once we have finished the race of this temporary life. However, we need to also look at the other alternative of our actions. Such as there are set rules and regulations for every assignment, the same applies around the kingdom business. When we walk in disobedience, the repercussions are well indicated as is in the verse- Deathâď¸
What is a WAGE. In the work environment, its purely our EARNINGS. It what is due to us as our reward for the work we did. The death that the scripture is talking about is spiritual and eternal death. The refusal to surrender our sinful nature to the giver of life and forgiveness leaves us with no alternative except eternal punishment.
The Wage of living in Christ is eternal life. By the Blood of Christ and purely by Grace we are assured of eternal life *Ephesians 2: 4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).â¤ď¸đđ
đ¸We are thus called to have a daily review of ourselves to we can be in line with the will of our Father in every thing we undertake. He is faithful and just to grant us an opportunity to live right all for His gloryđ¸
Our Prayer therefore:đ
Dear Lord, we thank you for revealing to us that we have an opportunity to please you again. We pray that you help us to see that your punishment for sin is just as you are just God. Align us to you so we do not miss eternal life through pride or any other barrier. Help us to appreciate fully the price paid for our forgiveness. Thank you for your pure love to save us from destruction. In Jesus Name.
Blessed Week Ahead
Shalomđđ
