A Fair Wage?

“But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:22-23

“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (full, complete and perfect payment) for our sins.” I John 4:10

Remember a time when you did something for someone purely out of love, knowing the other person could never return the blessing in the same way to you. Perhaps it was sharing your table with a stranger during a holiday or giving money to a beggar on the street, or buying canned goods for a mission house or visiting cranky old shut-ins or sick people, etc. You don’t expect payment...only perhaps the potential of a growing hope in that other person’s heart that they will see the Father’s hand instead of yours.

“’’For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’’” Matthew 25:35-36
