WHAT IS THE EXCHANGE RATE?

-

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" was the basis of the thought of the Man that asked "What is the exchange rate (that is, what will I give in exchange) for me not to die in my Sins?" when the Gospel of Christ was preached to him.

It is essential for Man to know that the wages of sin is surely death (the equal and opposite reaction for sinning) but what does the Bible call the exchange rate for Man not to perish as a result of sinning;

Romans 6:23 KJV For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Even though Man the wages of sin is death which has caused Man to come short of the glory of God and been dead spiritually but life is still offered to Man from God to disannual the eternal condemnation to death on Man. And the life God offered Man as solution to death is called gift.

Romans 3:23-24 KJV [23]For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [24]Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Even though all that have sinned has come short (that is, to lack) the glory (life) of God in them due to sinning but the Bible now made us to understand that the same Man that was short of God's glory has now been freely justified through the redemption that is found only in Christ Jesus. Freely justified mentioned here is important to take note that Man is not ask to work for his justification so that God can give him His life. It is given as a gift.

So get it away from the front and back of your mind that God need anything from you before he can give you His life. He offered it as a free gift to all Humanity (EVERYONE);

John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

So it will be a mistake on a Man's path to think God require of him to give something in exchange for him to be justified before God. God has already given it as a free gift and the response of Man can never be more than to accept the free gift. Or do you offer something before anyone can give you a gift? If you offer something in exchange, then it is no longer a gift.

Romans 3:25 KJV Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

(NB: Not that the sins are nothing to God or that no payment was made so that Man won't be punished for the sins but God paid for the sins Himself through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and offered the justification to Man as free gift after paying for the price). So the exchange rate is nothing more than you accepting that is, believing in the free gift (Jesus Christ) that was used as the price paid on Man's behave at his death, burial and resurrection.

THIS IS WHERE I WAS BORN

Eph 2:9 KJV Not of works, lest any man should boast. The words of our Gospel might look incredibly stupid when we tell you that it has nothing to do with your background or where you are brought up, but that is the truth. Different regions and different localities can be seen all over the World. Each locality has its own lifestyle, which makes nothing universal about our way of living or lifestyle because we were born in different places. Even with the truth that where we were born differs, there remains the truth that all Man has been a victim of sinning (or to be called a sinner) through the occasion of commandments/law/rules. Rom 7:9 KJV For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. So, sin revived in us (or better put, that sin was made alive in us), not because we really want it, but because it took the occasion of the Law, which was meant to set everything in order, and that makes it a bitter truth that, any Man that has been brou...

I LIVE TO LEARN - Christmas

"a true man in this world is a person that can reproduce himself, whether positively or negatively, by impact." I live to learn day-by-day and display how much I know when I need to write or when faced with the issues of life to demonstrate the power of knowledge. I ask many questions from myself and men because I know that is the symbol of learning more and readiness to follow after knowledge. After all, knowledge is power! I question myself a lot to know why we will never forget some men in history. We can never forget a man called Billy Graham in the history of America due to his impact in making sure the country stands. He prayed with presidents that came to board in the history of the USA since 12th April 1945 when President Harry S Truman was inaugurated till 2016 the time of President Barrack Obama. If this man is celebrated yearly by the Americans, it is worth it because he was a true hero, and lest you forget, even though he has died now, some people still reco...

ERU KO BAMI        The greatest enemy of Human will always and forever be fear ; The greatest element that can kill and ruin a life very fast has always been and will always be fear . Yeah, I am glad to make you know the greatest fear of a man is he meeting his own Waterloo but am glad to announce to you that the Waterloo of a man never start and end at the exact life failure but in the fear he created for himself before the failure which makes him not to escape the failure and the fear he created for himself after the failure which will surely prevent him from rising again.         Come to think of it... Is it possible that there will ever be a man that is fearless ? "I don't even think there can ever be." Why is it not possible for just a man of all the to be fearless ?       Statistically, it can be traced that there are so many strong people in this world that fear no one but they surely trust in their st...
