Salvation<br />
Comes With<br />
A Price<br />
But it may not be what you<br />
think!<br />
By Margo McKenzie<br />
People have been programmed<br />
to believe that if<br />
they do good deeds, they<br />
will be rewarded. From where<br />
does this idea originate? It starts<br />
in the home. Well meaning parents<br />
often give rewards to their<br />
children when they do something<br />
worthy of merit. A parent<br />
will give a child an award for a<br />
special achievement or an allowance<br />
when children complete<br />
their chores.<br />
In sports, little league coaches<br />
award children with certificates,<br />
medals and trophies. Schools<br />
awards students with stars and<br />
other commendations in recognition<br />
of special achievements.<br />
Sometimes teachers print the<br />
names of achieving students<br />
on bulletin boards. As a reward<br />
for good deeds, school administrators<br />
invite students to pizza<br />
parties, honor assemblies and<br />
special trips.<br />
“For the wages<br />
of sin is death,<br />
but the gift of<br />
God is eternal<br />
life though<br />
Jesus our<br />
Lord.” Romans<br />
