TEMPLES OF THE LIVING GOD THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS EVERLASTING LIFE. Romans 6:23 We are quick to apply this scripture to the sin sick world, but it needs to be known and seen in each of us. We need to be actively desiring holiness. Our sins have been washed away God has given us a new spirit, and the Holy Spirit so that we would no longer live in the nature of sin anymore. Full scripture: Romans 6:22- 23 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Scripture for thought Colossians 2:1-23 Luke 11:14-28 A House Divided Matthew 12:22–30 Mark 3:20–27) Matthew 12:43–45 An Unclean Spirit Returns Luke 11:24-28 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.” As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!” But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” James 4:6-9 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. On Youtube: https://youtu.be/WmatSXqyJHQ
