June 24 Trust God Romans 6:23
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
“I have some good news and some bad news; which do you want first?” All of us have heard this before, and it always creates a dilemma. Which do we want first? Good and bad exists! In Romans 6:23, it is handled the way that I want news… First, the Bad News: “The Wages of Sin is DEATH!” DEATH is the complete separation from God and the terrible state of darkness. Our sins have a price, and apart from God, that price is our DEATH! Without God, there is extremely Bad News for our future… Complete and total separation from the Hope of Glory! Alright, hold on… the story does not end here! The Good News is, indeed, Good News! It is very Good News: “The Gift of God is Eternal Life in Christ Jesus!” Do you see it? The Good News is that, through Jesus Christ, He completely reverses the DEATH process, and the very moment that we trust Christ for our salvation and for our redemption, and the Spirit becomes active and alive in us, and we experience the “Life” activating Grace of His Love, then we experience the Good News! PRAISE GOD! Our physical death is not the end, just the beginning! It is the doorway to our entrance into eternity, into Heaven and into the presence of Almighty God! NOW, THAT IS SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
