THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
A lady phoned her physician's office inquiring about her latest prescription for medicine. She asked, "Is it true this medication is supposed to be taken for the rest of my life?"
The physician was consulted, and the nurse came back on the line. "Yes, Ma'am. You are supposed to ALWAYS take that medication."
The lady replied, "Well, I wonder how serious this problem is, because the bottle is marked NO REFILLS!"

Rom 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
KJV
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil or they would SURELY DIE (Genesis 2:17).
That proclamation of death meant two things: physical death, and spiritual death.
The Bible affirms that God decreed physical death upon human beings because of sin. Genesis 5 is full of examples. Most verses there begin with "And .... lived,.....and he DIED!"
We, as human beings, would do better with living life if we would realize that death is imminent because of our SIN!
However, physical death is not the ONLY result of sin. Sin also brings SPIRITUAL death! Sin brings separation from the Giver and Maintainer of LIFE -- God!
And to PHYSICALLY die in the state of SPIRITUAL death means ETERNAL separation from God! Think of it! Eternal separation FROM all that is good, holy, clean, wholesome, pure, righteous, and joy. Eternal separation TO an eternal HELL - a pit burning with fire, where there is "weeping and gnashing of teeth" forever!
EVERY SINGLE human being is a sinner. Therefore we are ALL subject to the laws of God: physical death and spiritual death.
BUT, thank God, there is a CURE!! Jesus is that cure! God has a GIFT for mankind. That gift is eternal life THROUGH surrender to Jesus as Lord.
EVERYONE needs that cure!
TELL someone about Jesus TODAY!
Love ya,
