We often complain that “Life’s not fair!” But who ever said it should be? Not God! In fact, we really don’t want God to be fair with us, do we? If we got what we deserved, we would only receive God’s wrath and punishment. For the Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 6:23,
“the wages of sin is death.” If you want to know what your works have earned you, the Bible tells you that your sin has earned you everlasting condemnation … that is, death. This is bad news. But, there is good news that follows. Because you don’t get what you have earned. No! You get better! Romans 6:23 goes on to say, “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Life truly is unfair! You don’t get what you deserve – Christ does, as He dies on the cross. Instead, you get what Christ deserves – eternal life! Now, how shall you live your life in response to God’s gracious gift?
