Romans 6:23

2. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23 (NIV)

3. It is something that you earn or deserve.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)
WAGES
It is something that you earn or deserve.

4. Wages
How would you define the term “wages”? It is something that you earn or deserve. How would you feel if your boss refused to pay you the wages that were due you? Deep down we all know that it is only right that a person gets what he deserves. We earn wages from God for how we have lived our lives.

5. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)
WAGES
SIN
Sin is more of an attitude than an action; it can be a hostile or apathetic response towards God.

6. Sin
What comes to your mind when you hear the word sin? How would a person have to live in order to get into heaven? Sin is more of an attitude than an action; it can be a hostile or apathetic response to God. At any point in your life, has God seemed far away? Our sin creates a distance between us and God.

7. Death actually means separation.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)
GOD
WAGES
SIN
DEATH
HELL
Death actually means separation.

8. Death
What thoughts come to your mind when you think of death? Death actually means separation. When we die, our soul is separated from our body. If a person chooses to reject God while he is alive, that separation will ultimately result in eternal torment in hell. Not only will he experience separation from God today, but also forever.

9. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)
GOD
WAGES
SIN
DEATH
BUT
There is hope!

10. But
This is the most important word in the verse because it indicates that there is hope for all of us. What we have talked about so far is bad news, but God has good news. What we are going to talk about now is a contrast to what we have discussed.

11. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)
GOD
GIFT
WAGES
SIN
DEATH
BUT
A gift is given because you love someone and not because of what they do.

12. GIFT
What is the difference between a gift and wages? A gift is given because you love someone and not because of what they do. How do you feel toward someone who gives you an expensive gift? Some people try to earn God’s favor by doing good deeds, living moral lives, or taking part in religious activities. But it is impossible to earn something that has already been bought.

13. God is the giver of the gift.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)

BUT
God is the giver of the gift.

14. GOD
God is the giver of the gift. I can’t give it to you; a church can’t give it to you. No one can give you this gift but God alone. Why do you think God would want to give you a gift? Why does anyone want to give someone a precious gift?

15. Experiencing life with God forever.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)

BUT
Experiencing life with God forever.

16. ETERNAL LIFE
What do you think eternal life is? Eternal life would be experiencing life forever with God. Life is communion with God. Just as separation from God starts in this life and extends into eternity, eternal life starts now and goes on forever. No sin can end it.

17. The one and only Son of God.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)

The one and only Son of God.

18. JESUS CHRIST
Jesus is the means by which we can obtain the gift of eternal life. The one and only Son of God. No one can offer the gift except the one who purchased it. He purchased it by paying for it with his life.

19. Jesus is in control of your life.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (NIV)

20. LORD
The gift is offered to everyone who makes Jesus Lord. For Jesus to the Lord, He has to have the total control of a person’s life.

21. Confess your sins to God and surrender your life to Him.

BUT
Confess your sins to God and surrender your life to Him.

22. CONFESSION and SURRENDER
To Confess means to agree with God that we are not perfect, that there are things in our lives that are wrong, and that we want Christ to forgive us as we turn away from our sins. To SURRENDER means to allow Christ to be the final authority in our lives and to live in order to please Him and not ourselves. It doesn’t mean that we have to be perfect, but that we will try our best to please Christ.

23. “Dear Lord, I confess that I have sinned and don’t deserve to be with you in heaven. I believe that Jesus died to pay the price of my sins. Please forgive me, come in to my heart, and help me to live for you from now on. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
