Topic: How Do You Want To Be Paid?
Scripture: Romans 6:21-23
We are all familiar with the phrase above, “The wages of sin is death.” Have you ever given it serious thought? Maybe you weren’t even aware of where the phrase came from? There are so many saying that come from the Bible, we can forget. Paul talks a lot about the new life we have in Christ as opposed to the old life we had under the law, and a life of sin.
He also speaks about living in the flesh and living in the spirit. Living in the flesh is pretty self-explanatory and includes most of the sins we commit whether against the commandments or the seven deadlies. Living in the spirit means living a life of virtue instead of vice.
The one who lives in the spirit is prudent, works for justice, doesn’t overindulge in either food or drink and has the strength to resist temptation. We are called to love others, but we are also called to take care of the body God has given us. Taking unnecessary chances with our lives or our health is not living in the spirit either. We are body and spirit, so we also need to take care of our souls.
Just as our bodies need the proper fuel and exercise, so do our souls. We need to fuel our souls with the food of prayer and exercise them with doing good deeds. It is up to us to decide how we will live and also how we will spend eternity. I know which one I prefer.
Prayer For Today
Loving God you offer us a choice of life or death. We must choose how we live now, knowing that that will determine how we will live in the future. Amen.
