depravity #3- The wadges must be paid!

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death -but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Sin causes death - period- before sin entered into the picture - there was no death -only life- in CHRIST there is only life as well - but apart from Him there is no hope at all - we are at the mercy of God - The wages of sin must be paid - we all come into the world owing God so much - we took HIS gift and wanted me - we were in Adam and Eve when they sinned- now again I cannot quiet understand such a thing but that does not mean its not true - God gave man everything - everything but the tree of good and evil- man wanted the one thing God said he could not have - and thus the bill for sin began to add up - JESUS our LORD came from Heaven to die in our place- and He paid the bill in full - its all about HIM and not about us - God's mercy is great - but without the knowledge of His righteousness - the mercy of God loses some of its punch - we must put it all together- God is holy and He demands our obedience- and HIS SON JESUS was totally obedient - if we know JESUS we have HIS SPIRIT in us and not only that we also are forgiven of all our sins - while our righteousness is filthy rags - He gives us HIS instead -and we can now have the relationship with GOD that JESUS purchased! The wages of sin must be paid - the payment is death - God told Adam and Eve if they disobeied HIM they would die - and because of that we die - but praise GOD its only a physical death - we actually live on forever in HIS kingdom -what a day that will be when we see JESUS face to face - our sin debt has been paid in full - JESUS be praised!

A SIDE NOTE:
When you go out to eat - you are expected to pay the bill when it comes to your table- and if you don't there are consequences- you may have to wash dishes or worse yet- the police may be notified - sin is the same way - when we choice to sin - we forget about its great cost- the wages of our sin is death -period! JESUS paid the price in full - praise GOD!

in CHRIST the wages of our sin has been paid in full!
