atonement-part5-the high price of sin. . .
Romans 6:23
For the wedges of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Before our conversion we were lost and did not know God - and yet He formed us in our mother's womb - He knew us before we were born -the Word of God says that HE knit us together - He knows all about us - more then we even know about ourselves -and He knew that sending HIS Son was the only way for the world to be saved - Today's verse says that the wedges of sin is death -this is so true- it was the first sin in the garden that brought death to the human race and everything on the Earth - nothing here will last forever- speaking on the subject of things of this world not lasting -I thought about how earlier this month the temps were in the mid to upper 80's - but last Tuesday we have severe weather and a cold snap followed- and all the plants around this area have suffered- its hard to believe that one day they were flourishing with new Spring growth -only to have a deep freeze late in the season come and take all that away - that is the same thing sin does- we may go along for a while enjoying some sin for a season -but the price for what joy we think it brings us - is very high - it cost JESUS HIS Life and not only that - it cost us intimacy with God -its true all our sins are forgiven when we allow Christ to come into our lives and save us - but still sin in our life costs dearly - how can we be an effective witness for Christ if we are caught up in sin - we must deny ourselves and follow HIM - Be thankful that JESUS was willing to die for us -our sins placed HIM on that cross but HIS Love for us kept HIM there - HE had every right to come down from the cross - after all He never did anything wrong - but HIS mission would have failed if HE had done that - God is Holy and HE must punish sin - He cannot just forget about it without the shedding of blood - the blood of the perfect Lamb of God!
Lets rejoice in the fact that JESUS died for our sins - making us right with the Father - but lets not forget what a great cost our sin comes with - death - and this price must be paid but JESUS and if not we must pay it - and that means eternal separation from God forever- there is no second chances once we leave this place- this is what the atonement was all about - JESUS became Sin for us - yet knew no sin - He never sinned one! That's the LORD we praise! Amen!
A SIDE NOTE:
SIN ALWAYS COSTS SOMETHING NONE OF US CAN PAY ON OUR OWN! JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS - THE PAYMENT WAS IN HIS BLOOD! PRAISE JESUS!!
in CHRIST our death causing sin has been forgiven!
