THE WAGES OF SIN

Luke 13:1-5 NKJV "There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?  I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.  Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem?  I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

You know, when terrible things happen in certain areas we tend to think that it is because they had sinned so much, some even say it is God judging them. But that's not always true. Sin, whether big or small, has consequences. There are no worse sinners!

"The wages of sin is death." Death immediately and automatically sets in the moment sin occurs. Understand that it is a law. And the only way to counter the consequence of sin is through repentance.

Unless there is true repentance, the one who sinned will perish. Brothers and sisters, we are no longer slaves, sin no longer has dominion over us! We can actually stop sinning! The grace of God has already appeared to us all, teaching us to say no! Jesus came that we may have life; let us choose to enjoy that life!
