The gift of God is eternal life!

Rom 6: 23a – The wages of sin, is death.
Death refers to a spiritual condition. People without Christ don't hear spiritually. They can't communicate spiritually; they can't produce anything spiritually. Death is the consequence of sin. Sin causes decaying of lives.

Sometimes, you make mistakes that hurt somebody so much and are so bad that you can never make up for them. They may forgive you, but the scars remain forever.

Rom 6: 23b – but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Life refers here to a spiritual condition too. The person who has accepted Christ's salvation has received eternal life. They can hear, see and communicate spiritual truth. They are alive in Christ. Jesus said, "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly." (John 10:10). What a contrast between Life and Death!

Life is available for you in Christ. "He who has the Son has life!” (I Jn, 5:12). You must have Christ, to have life.

Sometimes, you make mistakes that hurt so much and are so bad that you can never make up for them, because the wages of sin, is death.
But it is different with God! Whatever we have done to God, can be removed, can be changed and can even be forgotten by Him! For the gift of God is eternal life.


This new life in Christ, is available for you, today!
