What EVERY Human Being Deserves!
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you know what every human being really deserves? We’ve blown it, we (mankind in general) because of Adam and Eve’s fall in the garden, have been born with a ‘sin nature’ and the reward for sin is death. You say, “But I don’t have sin in my life.” Wrong, the Bible (not me) says we all do at some point in time, if nothing else because of Adam’s fall in the garden. When death comes to man as a result of sin, we’re only getting what we deserve, what we’ve earned. Sin is rebellion against the God who loves us and gave us His most precious gift to redeem us from sin. Romans 14:23 says: “…for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” If you are not in faith, believing in the Son of God (Jesus) and what He has done for you, you’re in sin, wow! If you’re not believing EVERY promise from God in His Word, The Bible, then you are in sin! Did you religious folks get that? Because ‘Faith’ believes God’s every Word! How then does one get faith? “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) Notice it didn’t say by having heard once, but by hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing , and hearing , and hearing , and hearing , and hearing , and hearing , and hearing , and hearing. And what are we supposed to hear? The six o’clock news, the Kitsap Sun, the Chicago Times, the neighbor down the street, the Koran, Zen Buddha, or some other guru type teacher? NO, we are supposed to be hearing the WORD of GOD. God has given us a gift that is free — eternal life in Jesus Christ and every thing else in His Word. He gave it with only one qualifying requirement, that we believe in His Son Jesus and what He has ALREADY done (past tense) for us! We just have to, “by faith”, reach out and receive what is really already ours.
MY PRAYER…
Thank You, Father God, for loving me when no one else could or would. Thank You for sacrificing Your most precious gift so I could join You one day in heaven. Of all the gifts I’ve ever received, Yours is absolutely the best! I offer thanks to You through the gift that set me free and delivered me from darkness into the glorious kingdom of Your Son. In Jesus name!
Amen
