Romans 6:23–Dead in Sin, Alive in Christ

Romans 6:23–"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Sin is one of the most verifiable truths in life and yet its existence is still one of the most intellectually rejected.  Sin is so pervasive that it has rendered hearts hard, minds dull, and spirits empty.  But all of those consequences pale in comparison to the ultimate consequence of sin: eternal separation from God. There is no more severe repercussion reckoned to humanity than to be separated from God eternally.

Enter Jesus.  Christ Jesus has saved us from our sin and offered us life through faith in His name, faith in who He is as the Son of God, and faith in what He did on the cross.  This is the very essence of Christianity.  In fact, the whole of Christian theology hinges upon this truth: that God saves people from sin through Christ Jesus.

Let us never, ever forget this.
