Imagine this: you’re offered a job. But here’s the catch—the employer works you endlessly, with no compassion, no benefits, no peace. And at the end of it all? Your payment is death.
Would you ever agree to sign that kind of contract?
Of course not. No one in their right mind would.
But tragically, the truth is this: billions of people are currently working under this cruel master—and they’ve signed his contract without realizing it. They live under his authority every day, serving him, obeying him, suffering because of him.
So… who is this brutal master?
John 8:34 (NKJV) – “Jesus answered them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.'”
According to Jesus Himself, sin is a master, and anyone who continues in sin becomes its slave. And make no mistake—sin pays its workers.
But what does it pay?
Romans 6:23 (NKJV) – “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
This means sin isn’t just disobedience—it’s employment under a killer boss. And your salary isn’t just trouble… it’s spiritual death, relational death, and ultimately eternal separation from God.
The Bible emphasizes that every laborer deserves to be paid:
Luke 10:7 (NKJV) – “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
1 Timothy 5:18 (NKJV) – “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
So sin makes sure to pay you what you deserve. But its payment is destruction.
Sin isn’t just a mistake—it’s a spiritual disease. It corrupts and kills everything it touches:
✅ It kills the love in your heart
✅ It kills your relationship with God
✅ It kills your peace and replaces it with fear
✅ It kills joy and replaces it with anxiety
✅ It kills kindness
✅ It breaks marriages
✅ It silences your calling, gifts, and spiritual authority
✅ It blocks blessings
✅ And ultimately… it destroys your body and soul
Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV) – “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.”
That word “separated” implies spiritual death—a complete disconnection from the presence and favor of God.
Jesus Christ is calling you out of slavery and into freedom. Unlike sin, He does not enslave—He sets free.
Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV) – “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me… For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
John 8:36 (NKJV) – “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
When you surrender to Jesus, He becomes your Savior, not your slave driver. He doesn’t pay you with death—He gives you life.
And not just physical life, but abundant, eternal life:
John 10:10 (NKJV) – “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Jesus gives life to every area sin tried to destroy:
✅ He restores your love
✅ He renews your peace
✅ He revives your joy
✅ He heals marriages and families
✅ He resurrects your calling and spiritual gifts
✅ He pours out blessings
✅ And most importantly, He gives you eternal life
Romans 6:23 (NKJV) – “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Friend, today is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (NKJV) – “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
Don’t let sin continue to rob you of life on earth—and steal eternal life to come.
If you’ve never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, this is your moment. Turn away from sin, and run to the One who gives life. His arms are open wide.
