Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(6th May, 2024)*

by Sunday Akanni

TOPIC: Death To Life
‭
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 6:23)

*Message*

After Adam and Eve sinned against God in the Garden of Eden, mankind lost a large chunk of the divine configuration we were created with, and the average human no longer has a strong attachment with the things of heaven but rather prioritizes the carnal pleasures of earth that make us unmindful and rebellious to God's eternal agenda.

The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. What happened after Adam and Eve sinned was that they (and their offspring) died.

Remember, God already informed them ahead: ‭

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:17)

The death in question was beyond a physical affair (although physical death also became one of the consequences eventually), it was more defined as a separation between mankind and God their Source, which resulted in a degradation of the quality of existence.

*So, the average person you see out there that came from the loins of Adam and Eve is a dead person, a walking corpse. For them to be a living creature, they must have been injected with eternal life (the life of God) through faith in Christ Jesus (John 3:16).*
‭‭
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 6:23)

*"For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)" Romans 5:17 ‬*


*Prayers*
Pray for those yet to receive eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus, that the Lord will set the up for an encounter with Him this week.
