Passage: Romans 6:23*

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

Questions

1. What has our sin earned for us?

 

2. What has God done in response to that?

 

3. What does the giving of a gift demonstrate — especially one of great sacrifice?

 

4. What does all of this say about the value that God must place on us?

 

Practical help

One of the most amazing gifts we could ever receive from God is eternal life. This is exactly what we don’t deserve from Him. Why would God give life to a bunch or sin-bent people deserving death? The way Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice for you and me is the maximum demonstration of God’s love and grace toward us. We deserved death, but He gave us life instead.

There is great encouragement in God’s word for us! It cuts through the fog and helps us to see the truth. Understanding the truth can bring us freedom along with lasting life change (see John 8:31-32). The truth is that we are loved much and valued highly by God. It’s natural for us to want to be near someone who loves us that much.

Another fact is that pornography degrades and demeans the very people that God loves and values so much. Don’t fall prey to the destructive influence of porn. Instead, stand strong today in the grace that is yours in Christ Jesus. Enjoy the free gift of eternal life that proves God’s love for you. The truth is that He loves you and values you more that you can possibly imagine.
