For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I've seen and heard this verse all my life, but today it struck me differently. Too many people, I think, focus on the first part of the sentence and not the last part. For the moment, let's consider the last part: "... the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Notice too, that if you make yourself as a servant to sin, it's about wages - what you "earn."
Place yourself in the hands of God, and it's not what you "earn" but instead a gift. More than you could ever earn but a gift through Christ, through his unconditional love. An eternal gift - one that keeps on giving. Now and forever.
