5 Minutes a day / 5 Days a week

with God

Romans 6:23

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

We are on day two of our four-day journey down the Romans Road.
Day one we realized that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
It wasn't a very fun trip for day one.
Day 2 here we realize the outcome of our sinful nature.

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

Death, another road we all tend not to travel, even though we all know it so well. We have all lost loved ones to death, have seen it on the news almost everyday, and even watch shows that glorify death by killing or murdering.
A survey was done and it was determined that one out of every one persons will die.
No one is exempt from death; it's something we all will have to one day face.
"So when did this death thing start out?"
It was about 6000 years ago with a man and woman named Adam and Eve. Remember the apple thing (it wasn't really an apple)?
Well, because Adam and Even disobeyed God and ate from the forbidden tree, the penalty was death.

Gen 3:19

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return."

"Well that's not fair," you may be thinking.
Think of it as this way, you kill someone you go to jail and can get the death penalty. The judge makes that determination and makes the sentence for the crime you have committed.
Think of God as the judge, and you have been found guilty. Now think of that judge doing your time for the crime you committed. That's what God has done.
Tomorrow we will travel on that road.
