| Nothing To Pay |
| Though “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), yet no one has to pay the penalty of sin unless they want to. This is an important point! At enormous cost, God sent His Son to die as a Substitute for sinners. As a result, salvation from sin and its wages is offered as a free gift through the Lord Jesus Christ. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). |
| Man is lost because he has a sinful, fallen nature as a result of Adam’s disobedience. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). Man is condemned because he is a sinner by practice. In other words he sins, or does wrong things … things contrary to the holiness of God. |
| But the crowning guilt is his rejection of the provision which God has made for his salvation. The Lord Himself said, “If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins” (John 8:24).The way of blessing is open for all, the debt of sin has been paid, and the sinner who comes to God in faith, through Christ, has NOTHING TO PAY! |
