"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
When we are slaves to sin, we earn death. All our impurities and unrighteous acts are like working at a job of sin, where, when we retire, instead of a pension, we earn death. However, eternal life is a gift. It is not something that can be earned. Even if we changed our acts to those of a righteous and pure nature, we still would retire with a pension of death. But that is what Jesus did--He stepped in and took our pension, what we have earned throughout our lifetime, and given us the gift of eternal life. Praise God!!
Lord, thank You for giving me the gift of eternal life. I don't deserve it, and I definitely haven't earned it, but You've given it to me anyway. Thank You for that.
