Romans 6:19-23..v23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Every person has a master-either God or sin. A christian is not someone who cannot sin,but someone who is no longer a slave to sin. He or she belongs to God. You are free to choose between two masters,but you are not free to adjust the consequences of your choice. Each of the two masters pays with each own kind of currency.The currency of sin is death.That is all you can expect or hope for in life without God. Christ currency is eternal life, new life with God that begins on earth and continues forever with God. Eternal life is free from God,then it is not something that we earn,nor must be paid back. Consider the foolishness of someone who receives gift given out of love and then offers to pay for it. A more appropriate response to a love ones who offers a gift is graceful acceptance with gratitude. Our salvation is a gift of God,not something of our own doing(Ephesians2:8-9).He saved us because of his mercy,not because of any righteous things that we have done (Titus 3:5) how much more we should accept with thanksgiving the gift that God has freely given to us. My brothres and sisters in Christ, let me ask you...what choice did you make? Think about this...goodnight everyone.
