Wages and gifts



After Romans 6:15-23

Slaves of sin
are paid a wage,
a wage whose
end is shame
and death.
Slaves of God
receive a gift,
a gift of life,
of life eternal.
A slave of God
is a slave
of righteousness,
the slavery of life.
The gift is free, 
no strings attached.
The gift is a choice,
freely made.
It is a strange thing
that this slavery 
leads to life.

The choice of slavery


After Romans 6:15-23

What you follow, who
you follow, becomes
your master, and you
their slave. It is
a choice: you choose
to obey sin, with
its death knell, or
you choose to follow
obedience, with its
sing of life.

You have chosen life,
you are set free from
death, you are now
slaves to life.
