For the wages of sin is death. Ever thought about that? Wages? We associate wages with something earned. If you work for eight hours, you are guaranteed wages. They pay you for what you’ve done. Many of us work HARD for those wages.

But we’re talking about sin. Have you ever found yourself working hard to sin? Think about it. It requires effort sometimes to go against God. Some of us go out of our way to find an opportunity to sin. We make efforts to block out God long enough to do wrong. We expend energy trying to cover it up to keep people from finding out. We work hard to be who we are not. We weren’t meant to follow satan. We were made to love God give Him glory.

But after all the work to achieve that sInstant gratification, it never is really worth it. Is it? In fact you end up feeling dirty, impure, stained. What’s more you have put in work towards the only wages promised—death. Spiritual death.Eternal separation from God. You will actually EARN this. You deserve this.

What if we looked at sin this way? It really wouldn’t be worth the effort would it? It would seem rather pointless. Right? Like why bother?

But do work diligently to know what God expects of us by reading His word. Work hard to live right. Work hard to save the lost. Work hard to help others. And even then you cannot EARN heaven. But God’s grace was shown that His son became the ultimate sacrifice to save us from our sins and death that we deserve. That free gift, if accepted is better than working hard for a spot in hell.

Romans 6:23 KJV

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
