Each person has his natural limitations and usually seeks for a return in anything he does. In terms of work, he expects wages or profit. In doing good to others, he loves to be praised, honored, and to be appreciated for his efforts. As a leader, he possess great influence over his members that can lead them towards the right path of righteousness or corrupt their minds to sin.
You were once a slave of sin but have been freed in order to strive for righteousness in faith. Sin leads you to shame and in the end you gain nothing. God transformed you from a sinner to a slave then to a servant. Now he is preparing you to be a steward so that in the end, you may be sanctified to gain eternal life.
So, what kind of return will you choose, the wages of sin that leads to nothing or a free gift of God that assures eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord?
