Sin is a fatal disease. It has sentenced
us to a slow, painful death.
Sin does to life what shears do to a
flower. A cut at the stem separates a flower from the source of life. Initially
the flower is attractive, still colorful and strong. But watch that flower over
a period of time, and the leaves will wilt and the petals drop. No matter what
you do, the flower will never live again. Surround it with water. Stick the
stem in soil. Baptize it with fertilizer. Glue the flower back on the stem. Do
what you wish. The flower is dead.
A dead soul has no life... The finished
work of sin is to kill the soul.
“… but the free gift of God is eternal
life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”
(Romans 6:23b NLT)
