Bible Verse of The Day – 4-1-20

Romans 6:23 (NKJV) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As a young adult who was not a believer, I remember very clearly hearing this scripture for the very first time.

It helped me to understand the “wages of sin” by showing me sin’s consequences; death.

40 years later, as I read this verse again this morning, my eyes were first drawn to that same thing; the wages of sin.

But God quickly pulled my eyes to the last half of the verse; the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And all I could say was “Wow”!

He reminded me of His gift to all mankind, through Jesus Christ; eternal life.

What an amazing gift indeed. There is no gift on earth or in heaven that tops this one. And oh, how I want others to receive this gift.

My heart aches for the lost, the dying and, yes, even those who do evil in our eyes, appearing to care for nobody but themselves.

I know the One who can change their hearts, remove the scales form their eyes and make them a brand-new creation in Christ.

My prayer is that they find Him and surrender their lives to Him, so they might also know this wonderful salvation offered so freely.

Please join us in praying for the nations, that the lost and dying will look up and see their Creator, and embrace Him with newfound faith and trust in Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Amen.
