The Wages of Sin Is Death; Christ Brings Eternal Life
Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
President David O. McKay said:
“How great, how glorious is the gospel of Jesus Christ that sets forth in clearness and simplicity the laws of life. Mormonism, so-called, embraces all these laws, and is, therefore, truly the philosophy of living. How tragic that end which comes through disobedience to these laws. Such an end is marked by physical debility, heartaches, discouragement, self-condemnation, sadness, abandonment, despair, death; ‘For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’ [Romans 6:23].”
