Romans 6:23 KJV
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
When we are born, we are born with sin into a sinful world. We are not born perfect (although many new mothers will beg to differ). After Eve ate the fruit in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3), everyone born was born with sin. Thankfully, through Jesus Christ we can be washed as white as snow. What does this mean?
When we are washed as white as snow, we have accepted Jesus as our Savior. When God looks down from Heaven he sees white in us and not the black sin we once had. This does not mean we will never sin again. It just means that our sins have been paid for by Jesus Christ who died on the cross and we are now forgiven. No sin is too big or too little in the eyes of God. He will forgive any sin as long as we are truly sorry and ask for his forgiveness.
God has given us the gift of eternal life. All we need to do is ask for that gift and accept Jesus as our Savior. For those who choose not to have Jesus in their lives...the wages of sin is death.
