This week Shabbach Master's Commission students met with Pastor Glenn at Starbucks for a time of Discipleship. PG taught us the importance of Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Breaking down this verse showed us how truly important it is to our Christian walk.
The important words in this verse are: wages, sin, death, gift, of God, eternal life, and Christ Jesus.
It was important to then look at what each word means.
Wages: A Payment
Sin: Willfully doing wrong
Death:
Separation
- The payment for willfully doing wrong is separation. -
Gift: Something willingly given to someone without payment
Of God: Something that was already
His
Eternal Life: Togetherness or connection with God forever
- The Gift of God is togetherness or connection with Him forever. -
The picture shows how he had us set this up on a Starbucks napkin. This is an easy fundamental tool for evangelizing in everyday situations. All you need is Romans 6:23, a napkin, and a pen! The point is that you're always ready no matter where you are.
We all start out on the left side of the napkin. BUT through the gift of Christ Jesus we are able to reach the right side and that is to eternal life. The walk across will present you with obstacles. We sometimes have trials and just because you get to the right side doesn't mean you can't go back. "God never said it would be easy but it will be worth the fight."
Are you willing to reach out to the stranger sitting next to you in Starbucks? Like Pastor Glenn says, "There is an assignment wherever you go you just have to keep it."
