"The wages of sin is death," That's a phrase most of us in the Church are familiar. Most of us probably heard it when salvation was being explained to us to make us see that we deserve to die for our sins. I was reading Romans 6:23 (the verse where this phrase comes from) and check it out.

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

That is so crazy-cool to me. You see, we hear so much that the wages of sin is death because it's a part of our logical reasoning to believing in salvation, but we leave off the most incredible part of that verse! Wages are earned, we deserve the penalty for our sins, but God gave us a gift, eternal life. How did He give it to us? Through Jesus!
