Recently we talked about how deadly sin was. We found in scripture that, “…the wages of sin is death …” (Romans 6:23). In that discussion we mentioned that just as we expect to receive “compensation or a wage” for working in any job, be it full-time or part-time, we should expect to receive “compensation or a wage” for working or living in sin, be it full-time or part-time. Although the “compensation or wage” for employment is usually some type of monetary benefit, the compensation or wage for sin is “death.” We noted that this passage was really telling us “the wages, the salary, the pay, the income, the take-home pay” of sin, no matter the amount of sin, is “death.” Working in sin, playing in sin, living in sin, or just existing in sin pays a benefit, which according to scripture is death.
