Wages vs. Gift

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” If any of us could escape the fate of our sinfulness we would.  The sad truth is we will all suffer death.  That would be a horrifying thought if we did not also live with the confident expectation of the ultimate joy of eternal life in Heaven, living forever with loved ones and our God.  All Christians when leaving this earth enter the most blessed existence possible.  That is worth dying for.
