Romans 6:15-19 NIV
“Whatever controls us is our lord. The person who seeks power is controlled by power. The person who seeks acceptance is controlled by acceptance. We do not control ourselves; we are controlled by the lord of our lives.”
Rebecca Pippert – Out of the Saltshaker
Romans 6:19 NIV
“Christianity asserts that every individual human is going to live forever, and this must be either true of false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live forever. Perhaps my bad temper or my jealousy are gradually getting worse – so gradually that the increase in seventy years will not be very noticeable. But it might be absolute hell in a million years: in fact, if Christianity is true, hell is the precisely technical term for what it would be.”
C.S. Lewis - Mere Christianity

Sin is a master who always pays ON TIME AND IN FULL. The wages he pays is DEATH!
Where there is no FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, there is no ROOT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
