Romans 6:23"For the wages of sin is death;But the gift of God is eternal life,through Jesus Christ our Lord."
God sent his only begotten son into the world, that through him ,we might be saved. We have been blessed God didn't give us what we deserved, or what we wanted, but out of his love for us, he gave us what we needed, for we were lost in sin.
Man was in a miserable condition, working hard for sin and in sin. Some of us are still employed by sin, working overtime and double shifts, living sin full lives, unaware of the payday that lies straight ahead. The compensation for sin is death. Yes sin pays a wage to all who work for it. The wage paid is death. Death is due to a sinner when his work is complete. This is true of every sinner, every person who has refused to make Jesus their choice, the wage they will be paid is death. But the gift of God is eternal life. Eternal life, no infirmities to hinder him, no death to put a period to it, just life everlasting with our Heavenly Father.
Death is the wage of sin and it comes by abandoning and forsaking our savior, but the life is a gift, it comes by favor, without respect of person. We work for the wage paid by sin, but life is freely given. Sinners merit hell, it is what they are working for, but saints do not merit heaven, you can't work for it, you can't buy your way in, it is a gift from God, to all who believes, through Jesus Christ our Lord. He accepted for us the wage paid by sin, and He is our precious gift from God.
