Romans 6: 23 "The wages of sin is death; but the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
What is sin ?
1 John 3: 4 ".... Sin is the transgression of The Law."
Sin placed Jesus on the cross. So terrible is this thing called sin, that the Creator of all things could only save His creation by taking the wages of sin upon Himself. Jesus died for me, Friend; Jesus died for You ! Think of the millons and billions of people who have suffered so terribly because of sin. One, seemingly small act of transgression by Mother Eve, plunged this world into 6000 years of horror ! We need to stop and think of this before we choose to sin ! When we transgress God's Holy Law, we are not just bringing sorrow and guilt upon ourselves, but upon all who will follow sooner or later the example we have set !
