Everlasting

Romans 6

Thank you, father, for opening the eyes of my understanding so that I now know that I am a slave to the one I obey either sin leading to death, or obedience to you, father, which leads to righteousness.

Thank you, father, that though I was once a slave to sin, by your grace I heard your gospel and believed it in my heart, and I began to obey your doctrine, and I was set free from sin, and I became a slave to your righteousness.

Yes, I once presented my members as slaves to uncleanness with determination, but now, praise God, I present my members as slaves of righteousness for holiness with even greater joy and enthusiasm.

For I remember the fruit I got from being a slave to sin. It was heartbreaking and disgusting, and the end of it all was death.

But now I am set free from sin, and I have become a thankful slave in your household, Lord. Now I have the fruit of holiness and the sure hope of everlasting life.
