THE WAGES OF SIN… ††† “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 Do you realize that every sin, regardless how small requires the death of the sinner? Because of sin we are all condemned to death, and hell. No one is righteous, nor worthy to live. But God, the compassionate and merciful, has postponed his wrath. He did not destroy the disobedient immediately according to his justice. He provided the guilty sinners with an escape. He gave them a substitute and guided them to the way of sacrifices and offerings. In earlier times, every guilty sinner had to come to the altar with an animal, place his hand on its head, and confess his sins before God. This was the sign that his sins were transferred to the head of his substitute. Then he had to kill the animal with his own hand. The old covenant was built upon bloody sacrifices, which were offered night and day. Therefore the almighty God appointed a pure and holy Lamb from heaven, able and worthy to take away the sin of the whole world once and for all. ADVICE!!! The Holy Lamb is the Lord Jesus Christ, a mercy to the world and a grace to all who accept him. “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrew 9:28.
