God's grace and our obedience to Him (part 10)

Romans 6:19  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. We give into what controls us, because our flesh is weak. What Paul is cautioning us to do is to seek God first and always.

Romans 6:20  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. We were freed when we were weak.

Romans 6:21  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. Where does allowing our flesh to go back to what we were doing because those things lead to death. (Remember death like sin came in when Adam sinned. )

Romans 6:22  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Once we are freed, we produce fruit in holiness and will have everlasting life because of the promise of God.

Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. One of my favorite lines in the entire bible. Wages imply something that we earn. By being being in a life of sin all we earn is death. A gift is something that's given freely and extra. So when we decide to follow God God gives us His Holy Spirit and eternal life. God is awesome.
