Romans 6:23 - Consequences

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. As I get older I can see things a lot clearer than I use to as a kid. For example,I know that if I eat a lot of spicy foods, there will be a price to pay later on. If I spend more money than I have in my account, I will be in trouble. And worst of all, I know that if I am not honest with the wife about a new recipe, I might have to eat it more often than I would like. I can see now that there are consequences to every action that I do. Take sin for example, the bible shows us that the wages of sin is death. Death is our consequence for sin. Guess what, we all are sinners, every last one of us. If we do not acknowledge Christ as our savior, accept that He sacrificed Himself for our sins, and ask to be forgiven and start living right, we know what is in store for us. But thats the great thing about God, He gave us a way out. He sent His son to die for us. His blood washes away our sins and gives us a clean slate. We do not have to fear death any longer. Through Him we have life eternal, how cool is that? You can earn your wages in sin (death) or accept the fact that the wage has already been paid and live in Christ. The choice is up to you.
