A Beginner’s Guide to Life

Read: Romans 6:16–23

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

After my mother’s sudden death, I was motivated to start blogging. I wanted to write posts that would inspire people to use their minutes on earth to create significant life moments. So I turned to a beginner’s guide to blogging. I learned what platform to use, how to choose titles, and how to craft compelling posts. And in 2016, my first blog post was born.

Paul wrote a “beginner’s guide” that explains how to obtain eternal life. In Romans 6:16–18, he contrasts the fact that we’re all born in rebellion to God (sinners) with the truth that Jesus can help us be “set free from [our] sin” (v. 18). Paul then describes the difference between being a slave to sin and a slave to God and His life-giving ways (vv. 19–20). He continues by stating that “the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life” (v. 23). Death means being separated from God forever. This is the devastating outcome we face when we reject Christ. But God has offered us a gift in Jesus—new life. It’s the kind of life that begins on earth and continues forever in heaven with Him.

Paul’s beginner’s guide to eternal life leaves us with two choices—choosing sin, which leads to death, or choosing Jesus’ gift, which leads to eternal life. May you receive His gift of life, and if you’ve already accepted Christ, may you share this gift with others today! — Marvin Williams

How would you describe what it means to receive the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ? What’s the difference between being a slave to sin and a slave to God and His life-giving ways?

Jesus, thank You for loving me and forgiving me. You paid a debt I couldn’t pay and gave me a gift I couldn’t buy.

Bible in a year: Isaiah 43–44; 1 Thessalonians 2

Completely off topic but very military

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day! Hurrah for us!

Hope your week is going as scheduled and your welder is going a good job.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you make it through Hump Day without any monkey wrenches tossed to jam things up?

Good evening, radu...crops/ground still drying out?

The hawk must have been around last week because I’ve seen no ducks for several days now....no body either. But the chickadees and little guys are eating sunflower seeds as quick as I can fill the feeders.

[luvie]

God Bless Our Brave Troops!

[radu]

Still dry here and should be for a couple more days. Rain isn’t expected in our area until late Friday night when the cold front comes through.

Poor ducks. That hawk needs to find somewhere else to hang out!

At least the chickadees and other little birds don’t seem to be on the hawk’s radar. They’re free to safely benefit from your buffet. :-)

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Did you have a much cooler day to enjoy as the weatherman promised?

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Yesssss! It was devine. Only got up to about 75 and I’m in a much better frame of mind. Hope yours was as nice!

Rough start for welder but he’ll be ok
Not knowing anything about how to build drums
have slowed us down. He’s catching on

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi, Pro...winter approaching?

Possible snow here for the next couple days, but the days are still getting above 32, so it won’t stick yet. And then next week they say rain.
