Reading for today: Numbers 6:1-21, 1 Corinthians 15:50-58

“The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:56-57

The world tells us that sin is fun; all sorts of sinful pursuits are glorified on television, movies, music, magazines but Paul tells us that sin is the sting of death, and that the wages of sin are death (Romans 6:23).  James tells us that sin brings forth death (James 1:15).  Why is sin the sting of death?  Because if we die in our sins, the Bible tells us we must be separated from God for the remainder of eternity and suffer in Hell.  That’s a sting for which there is no salve.  Be thankful that Jesus died for our sins, and let others know that they, too, can receive the gift of God’s saving grace.
