DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ROMANS 6:20-23

(20)  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free, from righteousness.
(21)  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?  for the end of those things is death.
(22)  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
(23)  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE

Brethren, when we were in the world full of iniquities, we did not know any better but thought everything was well with us; now, as believers who walk in faith through the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and we know not to walk in ungodliness or partake in worldly lusts of the flesh; for it is a shame on our parts to be saved and still be guilty of past iniquities; however, let us pursue things of godliness which leads to salvation and eternity; for rewards of ungodliness are permanent termination of lives but the special grace of the LORD of hosts is everlasting life, given freely through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Case in point, in this text, Apostle Paul, encourages us to be victorious with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior over slavery of sins; he says, (i)  For when we were servants of sin, we were free, from righteousness; that is, when we were unsaved, we did not know any better and dedicate our lives to sin; and were free to do whatever we pleased to do, wrong or right doings; there was no profit in our actions or ashamed of any wrong doings, for we were blindfolded by Satan and were children of perdition; not knowing the ways of morally good behaviors;  (ii)  but now we are free from sin, and become servants of the LORD of hosts, let us bear fruits of holiness and inherit eternal lives; that is, through the sufferings, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, humanity is free from the grids of iniquities forever; if we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, believe and trust in him; the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit will take control of our lives as his chosen people and inherit eternal lives.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Points to ponder;  let think about the last verse in this text; (*)  For the wages of sin is death;  but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord;  that is, if we choose ungodliness as children of perdition tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wrong doings, we will receive evil rewards which are permanent end of lives; however, as believers who walk in faith through the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we have salvation, grace and live in heavenly places forevermore.

Fruits of thought,  as believers, when we receive spiritual baptism from the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit; we are on our ways to perfection, to be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; therefore, sins no longer has dominion over our souls; for blood of Jesus had taken control of our mortal bodies but to stay focus on our paths of transformations; we are to be in spirit always and be cooperative with the Holy Spirit to accomplish his will in our lives; however, let us watch out for the deceiver, who will try to talk us out of the will of the Father by infiltrating our minds with negative thoughts to derail or hinder our own progresses in the will of the Father; therefore, let us be careful of his craftiness,


CONCLUSION:

Brethren, we are already saved and are born again; therefore, we are no longer children of the bondwoman but of the free; and are joint heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; today, we enjoy grace freely and inherit live everlasting; if we are still in any doubts of who we are in him, let us pray for the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit to direct our ways in the faith through the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; for in him there is no sins but grace and life everlasting.  Amen and Amen!
