Mark, Your brothers are right in what they have said to you. "the wages of sin is death.." Let me expand on that... "sin is a greek word used mostly by archers it means to "miss the mark"...is it a severity to say that the wages of sin is death? In a manner of speaking it is.... When one sins or misses the mark that means he is making a mistake. In battle an archer must be accurate or if he misses his enemy he runs the risk of being killed...God speak of the spirit in this case...when you "sin" you feel a part of you dying..but wait...there is life and life abundently from the Father above that restores you...have no fear of sin or death because you have been loosed from the bonds of sin and death...spritually and one day at the resurection physically. The greatest example of a teacher is one who lives what he teaches...the apostles learned that....from The Master Teacher....you have been created to teach with your life that their is love and compassion, but, if you belive men and the legalistic hatred disguised as God's law....you will never see your true potential and not only then will you disappoint the Father but yourself as well...follow Jesus...the Prince of Peace. You are free from the law and therefor it has no hold on you. Your are free from sin and death....walk in his victory. We cannot overcome therefor he has already overcome for us. We just don't realize it sometimes. :-) [a smile for you my friend] In love and peace, Bill |
