But one sin is sufficient for everlasting punishment in God's judgment. Remember that even though it may look to our flesh as if Adam was guilty of only a minor infraction when he ate a piece of fruit that was forbidden, yet that one sin required the death of God's Son in order to save him and us. Well, if you walk after the Spirit, that is, walk in love to God and strive to keep His law, Christ did die for you and did fulfill the righteousness of the law for you. Fight then against a walk that your sinful flesh wants. That fighting will give you proof that God sent His Son for your salvation.
Life seems so much better when peace arrives.
For peace not only realizes the halting of death that war brought, but also fosters life with its peace and joy. God Himself, through the apostle Paul, presents a profound spiritual truth that we must consider about death and peace. Since our carnal minds want and seek sin after sin, it calls for death as God's punishment thereof. What we must hold before our minds then and insist upon is that sin is warring against God. And that will never bring us peace.
