Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.WAGES: You can 'earn' death because you are a sinner.Since you are a sinner, you can't earn eternal life.Eternal life is a 'gift' for those who realize they can't earn heaven.To be able to 'earn' heaven means you are as worthy as Jesus Christ.I will never cheapen God's grace by adding my work to his ultimate work at Calvary.Before he died, he said, 'it is finished'.When the last sins of mankind were placed on him, he alone paid for the sin of the world by shedding his blood as the sacrificial lamb of God.Only through faith in what Jesus DID can our sins be removed.Now, are you trusting in your WORKS as if your WORKS are equal to those of God or are you trusting in the Gospel which is given to us to believe through faith?
