Romans 6:23....... "the wages of sin is death......... but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus The Lord".


1.) So, reader, do you have eternal life?
Are you a Christian?.....Born again?....... Then in that case you have eternal life as to become a Christian is to have received "The Gift of Eternal Life" from God.


(This has nothing to do with water baptism).

And someone asked....... How do you know you have eternal life???? And the Bible answered through John........This Life is 'IN His Son".

2.) So, are you born again?... Then you are "in His Son". You are a "new creation.. (thats the born again Spirit), who is "IN CHRIST", and that is what it means to have become a "new Creation".
We are a New Creation, because we are
"born again, in Christ".

And, how did you get "IN".. Christ?......How do you get in there ?

Jesus answers......"You must be born again".... Spiritually, as that is how you get or become "IN" Christ.


3.) Now, Romans 6:23 says that ""the wages of sin is Death...""

So, if the "wages of sin is death", and you are a sinner, why are/were you able to pass from "death to Life".?

Its Because JESUS has become your sin bearer, and all the punishment do you, all the "WAGES of your sin" Which is God's Just Judgment..... have been Judged not against you, but against Jesus ths Sinless Son of God, whose BODY became your sin, and whose Holy Shed BLOOD became your eternal Forgiveness and your eternal Blood Atonement.

""""God hath made Jesus
TO BE SIN FOR US"

4.) Now, where does that leave you, if Jesus has become your eternal sin bearer?

You are found here....= "the Gift of God is Eternal Life ... THROUGH Christ"..

So, THROUGH the sacrificed body and shed BLOOD of Jesus The Lamb of God, you are able to receive from God by FAITH.... = "The Gift of Eternal Life".

And what is that exactly?

Its simply to have become born again INTO God's Spirit, having become 'ONE with God". "IN Christ".


Its to have been born again into the Spirit of God, by the Holy Spirit, .. .which means you are now forever found in SPIRITUAL UNION with God, as "in Christ". And because THEY are LIFE, and you are found in them, as "In Christ" and "One with God"... you now have their LIFE, and that LIFE is : """The Gift of Eternal Life."""

Welcome to God's Eternal Salvation

Its a "GIFT".

Thanks for laying this out. The way you tie Romans 6:23 to being in Christ is a good reminder that eternal life is a gift, not a wage we earn. Ephesians 2:8-9 says we are saved by grace through faith, so there is nothing left to boast about and plenty to be thankful for. (removed).
