In Romans 6:23, the Apostle Paul reminds us that "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
If we remain dwelling in sin, doing things our own way, rejecting God's Word and refusing Christ's Lordship in our lives, the end result is death. There will be no plea bargaining with God when one is before the throne of Judgement, there will be no second chances at that time. That should sober every person who thinks upon it; if you had to appear before God without the covering of Christ's righteousness....your sins would condemn you to death.
Yet, while we still live in this life, we may choose to follow Christ, to accept with grateful hearts His sacrifice; to allow Him in His mercy and grace to cover our sins with His blood, and to mark us as His own. This gift, which cost God so much- His only begotten Son crucified for us, the undeserving sinners- is free to all who will accept it. Life, as you have never known it now, can be yours in this lifetime by accepting Christ's Lordship in your daily life; giving you a deep abiding peace. Life, in the eternal sense, is then awaiting those who truly believe; you need not fear death, for there is life much sweeter and deeper than you have ever known awaiting you.
What will you choose?
