Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is

death, but the gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.

Romans 6:23 (NIV)

WAGE
S

It is something that you earn or deserve.

WAGES
How would you define the term
wages? It is something that you
earn or deserve. How would you
feel if your boss refused to pay you
the wages that were due you? Deep
down we all know that it is only
right that a person gets what he
deserves. We earn wages from God
for how we have lived our lives.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of

God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 (NIV)

WAGE
S SIN

Sin is more of an attitude than an action; it can be a

hostile or apathetic response towards God.

SIN
What comes to your mind when you
hear the word sin? How would a
person have to live in order to get
into heaven? Sin is more of an
attitude than an action; it can be a
hostile or apathetic response to God.
At any point in your life, has God
seemed far away? Our sin creates a
distance between us and God.

HELL
Death actually means separation.

DEATH
What thoughts come to your mind
when you think of death?
Death actually means separation.
When we die, our soul is separated
from our body. If a person chooses to
reject God while he is alive, that
separation will ultimately result in
eternal torment in hell. Not only will he
experience separation from God today,
but also forever.

BUT

There is hope!

BUT
This is the most important word
in the verse because it indicates
that there is hope for all of us.
What we have talked about so far
is bad news, but God has good
news. What we are going to talk
about now is a contrast to what
we have discussed.

BUT
A gift is given because you love someone and not
because of what they do.

GIFT
What is the difference between a gift
and wages?
A gift is given because you love someone
and not because of what they do.
How do you feel toward someone who
gives you an expensive gift? Some
people try to earn Gods favor by doing
good deeds, living moral lives, or taking
part in religious activities. But it is
impossible to earn something that has
already been bought.

God is the giver of the gift.

GOD
God is the giver of the gift. I cant
give it to you; a church cant give
it to you. No one can give you this
gift but God alone. Why do you
think God would want to give you
a gift? Why does anyone want to
give someone a precious gift?

ETERNAL LIFE
What do you think eternal life is?
Eternal life would be experiencing
life forever with God.
Life is communion with God. Just
as separation from God starts in
this life and extends into eternity,
eternal life starts now and goes on
forever. No sin can end it.

Jesus is the means by which we
can obtain the gift of eternal life.
The one and only Son of God. No
one can offer the gift except the
one who purchased it. He
purchased it by paying for it with
his life.

Confess your sins to God and surrender your life to

Him.

CONFESSION and SURRENDER

To CONFESS means to agree with God that
we are not perfect, that there are things
in our lives that are wrong, and that we
want Christ to forgive us as we turn away
from our sins.
To SURRENDER means to allow Christ to be
the final authority in our lives and to live
in order to please Him and not ourselves.
It doesnt mean that we have to be
perfect, but that we will try our best to
please Christ.

Dear Lord, I confess that I have

sinned and dont deserve to be
with you in heaven. I believe that
Jesus died to pay the price of my
sins. Please forgive me, come in to
my heart, and help me to live for
you from now on.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
