TEXT For th wngen of iln Ii death:
but the Rift of Ood Is eternal life through
leaui Christ our Lord. Unman 6:23.
There Is one word In this text which
splits It Into two parts nnd at the same
time unites the
text. It Is the
word "but," which
we know gram
matically as a dis
junctive; that is.
a word which
while seim
rutes, unites. On
one side of this
word "but" la
light, lire and sal
vation ; on the
other side Is dark- .
ness, sorrow and
death. The truth,
on one side, sets
the Joy bells ring
ing In one's heart;
the truth on the other side tolls out
a dolorous sound like a death knell.
One nnrt of the text Is filled Wit II
the sunshine thnt kisses the roses und
the lilies Into bloom ; the truth on the
other side Is like the blackness of
midnight. One side tells us about
wages; the other side speaks hope
fully of a gift. Wages or a gut,
which?
Let us look at the somber side or
the text. "The wages of sin Is death.
Wages come to one in return for la
bor given. They are supposed to bo
the Just compensation for services ren
dered. Sin here Is represented as
paying wages. I presume some have
never thought of sin In Just that way
before. Sin has been considered as
something over which we have con
trol; when the fact Is, sin Is master
of the one who commits it. This la
the truth Christ states when he says:
"Whosoever commltteth sin is the
servant of sin" (John 8:34).
Now the text tells us thut the slave
of sin receives as his woge, death. The
Scriptures make clear what this wage
Is. It is In the first place
Physical Death.
Contrary to the modern view that
the death of man Is natural, the Scrip
tures tench thnt it Is unnatural.
Man Is, according to the Scriptures,
a triune being; body, soul, and spirit
(I Thes. 5:23). It Is the union of these
three that constitutes his complete
personality. The body, the soul, the
spirit is each a part of himself and
death which mutilates man by sever
ing this union Is a physical conse
quence of sin: "Wherefore as by one
man sin entered into the world and
death by sin; nnd so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned".
(Rom. 5:12).
Whatever else the modern view
may deny of the teaching of the Word,
It Is In perfect agreement with nils'
statement of the universal reign of
death over man. This Is nn obvious
fact thnt cannot be denied. But how
is the fact of universal death to be
explained? Biologists acknowledge
that "death Is one of the most dif
ficult problems In the whole rnnge of
physiology." They declare thnt on the
grounds of pure science there Is no
ascertainable reason why living or
ganises, apart from Injury and vio
lence, should ever die at all. Where
scientists fail to nnswer this question
the Scriptures positively nfllrm that
physical death is a consequence of
sin.
But physical death Is by no means
all of the wage sin pays. Awful ns It
Is, more terrible by fur Is the
Spiritual Death,
which, because of sin, has passed upon
all men.
There Is no truth against which man
more strenuously rebels than this one,
that he Is spiritually dead; for If there
Is one tiling he believes about himself.
It Is thnt ho Is very much alive. And
so be may be In many ways, but not
spiritually. The verdict of the Word
of God Is that he Is "dead through
trespasses and sins" (Ephes. 2:1-2).
Thus our Lord Indicated when he snld,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, the
hour Is coming, nnd now is, when the
dead shall hear the voice of the Son of
God: And they that hear shall live"
(John 5:2."). It was not of the phys
ically dead Christ was speaking, for
shortly nfter this he Fpoke of thosa
who are In their graves as hearing
1 Is voice nod coming forth, some unto
everlasting life and some unto the
resurrection of damnation (vv. 2S-20).
The truth ns Christ presents It Is that
ns he has power to raise the physically
dead, and will; so lie has power to
raise the spiritually dead; to quicken
whom he will.
But physical and spiritual death are
not all of the wage sin pays. They
are only the prelude to the full and
final wages of sin which Is
Eternal Death.
Spiritual death litis already taken
place In men. This Is true of the en
tire human rnce, but Messed be God,
spiritually dead men may live: "For
the lAmr is coming and now Is, when
the dead shnll hear the voice of God:
nnd they that hear shall live" (Juo.
5:2.").
To NIcodemus. Christ made It plnln
what men spiritually dead must do In
order to live : "As Moses lifted VP the
serpent in the wilderness, even so,
snld Jesus, "must the Son of M.'yi bi
lifted up that whosoever belleveih la
him should not perish, but hnve eternal
life" (John 3:14-15). It Is for man
to look In faith to the Son of Ood
crucified for his sins; It Is for God to
put within the man who thus looks
eternal life.
Not to look In faith tr the Lord
Jesus Christ as one's Savior Ls to re
main splrltunlly dead nnd to 'remain
spiritually dead Is to receive finnlly
the full wages of si 11 eternal death
(John 1:12; 3:30).
What an awful solemnlng truth.
But over against It Is the blessed Vord
that "the gift of God Is eternnl life
through iesus Christ our Lord." Which
hall It t wages or a gift!
