“For
when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Therefore what benefit were you then deriving
from the things of which you are now ashamed?
For the outcome of these things is death. But now having been freed from sin and enslaved
to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome,
eternal life. For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:20-23.
I
worked with a man with whom I would discuss what the Bible said. One day in the midst of a heated discussion
regarding eternal life he said, “Well, either way you get eternal life, if you
call an eternity in hell living.”
He
was right. Paul points this out when he
asks, “What benefit were you then deriving?”
Paul being the great persuader left it up to the individual to deduct
that the benefit was hell. This is still
true today. Sin makes our lives on earth
hell and promises an eternity of hell.
We
have a choice, and the best choice is Jesus.
