Heartlight Daily Devotional Friday, March 24, 2006 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. --Romans 6:23 New International Version THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... When we get death for sin, we're only being paid what we're owed -- sin is rebellion against the God who loves us and gave us his most precious gift to redeem us from sin! But God's gift is free -- eternal life in Jesus Christ. He gave it without our assurance of following. MY PRAYER... Thank you, God, for loving me when no one else could or would. Thank you for sacrificing the most precious gift of heaven so I could join you there. Of all the gifts I've ever received, yours is the best. This thanksgiving I offer through the gift that set me free! Amen. ----------- Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/ugwjmdq_enrmwt.html>http://www.heartlight.org ----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/dyqhala_enrmwt.html>http://www.zondervan.com <http://crosswalkmail.com/Forward.do?a=main&m=rlgglr&r=enrmwt> If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. * Copyright 2006 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers.
