Seed for Sept 15

Rom 6:2323 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.(KJV)

There is a teaching in the church world that the soul is "immortal", but the Word does not teach such. The gift of God is eternal life. Without the gift of life, we are dead already in trespasses and sins, the Bible says. In other words we have no Eternal Life in us, without being born of the Life of God. We will not live eternally somewhere unless we have the gift of eternal life, new life, spirit life, given us by God Himself. Why would we need the gift of eternal life, if we already possessed the "immortality" of the soul, as some suppose? What does the Bible say? Matt 10:2828 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna / the fire) .(NIV)

Now for the good news. Since we have no eternal life in us, a way has been made for us to come to the Tree of Life and eat. That Tree is Jesus. There is no longer a flaming sword that bar the way to the Tree of Life now, Jesus paid the full price to reconcile us to God. Now we can come and eat freely and live forever. Behold He sets before us Life and Death...chose Life and live, for why would want to die, when the way has been made? Be blessed.
