For the ………………………But. . .
the wages (earned)…….gift (not earned)
of sin (unholiness)………of God (holiness)
is death (separation)……is eternal life (everlastíng fellowship)
That’s quite a stark contrast, isn’t it? You just can’t get
more diametric than those two statements. What makes
the difference between them? What is it that divides
them into polar opposites? The rest of the verse reveals
what puts one on one side or the other: “in Chríst Jesus
the Lord.” You see, if we are “in” Jesus Christ, then we
are given the gift of eternal life from a holy God.
Galatians 3:27 clearly reveals that we “put on Jesus”
(1e. become “in” Him) being baptized into Him. It is
then that we reach His soul-cleansing, sin-washing
sacrifice (Romans 6:3-5).
Are you “in” Jesus?
