WAGE OF SIN

 

 

Hi Everyone:

 

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."  A simple statement of truth but it sure is easy for man to confound the world with all kinds of doctrine in various kinds of religions.

 

Personally I like Jesus' way; simple, easy (as he says; His yoke is easy…) and most important of all; unchanging.

 

An example of a subject that carries with it much confusion is Baptism; unless you read the Bible and what it has to say about it, it will be misunderstood. Verse 3: "Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?" Verse 4: "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."

 

Baptism depicts graphically what happens as a result of the Christian's union with Jesus, which comes by faith. It is through faith we are united with Christ as through our natural birth we are united with Adam.

 

Baptism does not absolve people from sin; it is symbolic of our acceptance of Jesus as Savior.

 

To discover and know this truth, read the Bible, Nick                                               Number 385
