Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Reflection
Our scripture today recognizes that because of the sin we have in our life we deserve only one thing and that is death. This is a hard statement to take in because the gift of God’s grace is something that we did not deserve. The truth is that too often we make the mistake of looking at God’s blessings as financial or health based when the truth is that the greatest blessing we have ever received was through Jesus Christ. So no matter our health, financial standing, or position in life we are blessed because God gave us the greatest gift we could ever receive in Jesus Christ. Take a moment to thank God for this undeserved gift.
