  Scripture:  Romans 6:23

  Tags:  Sin, Wages Of Sin, Jesus Paid Our Debt, Debt Is Paid

  Denomination: Charismatic

Main Idea: Because of our sin, we owe a great debt that is impossible to pay, but Jesus paid the debt.

Verse: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23 NKJV).

Illustration: One time I was buying a sandwich at a store and I did not have enough money. A man in line behind me pulled out a one dollar bill and paid for my sandwich. I was so thankful that my debt was paid. But, imagine if you owed a debt of $10,000 but you only had $10. It would be impossible for you to pay off your debt. Now imagine if a friend puts $1,000,000 into your bank account. It would be very easy to pay a $10,000 debt if your friend gave you one million dollars. That is what Jesus did when He paid the price for our sins. The wages of sin is death. We deserve to die, but Jesus died in our place.
