Because ofWhoYou Are
Sandi Patty (Release year: 1991)
Oh Lord I stand amazed at the wonder ofYour deeds
And yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees
Lord I praiseYou, because ofWhoYou are
Not for all the mighty things thatYou have done
Lord, I worship you, because ofWhoYou are
You're all the reason that I need to voice my praise
Because ofWhoYou are

Leviticus 1:3-9; 2:1-3, 11-13; 3:1-5
Set Before

Leviticus 1:3-9 NASB
3 If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd,
he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall
offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting,
that he may be accepted before the LORD. 4 He
shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt
offering, that it may be accepted for him to
make atonement on his behalf.

5 He shall slay the young bull before the LORD;
and Aaron’s sons the priests shall offer up the
blood and sprinkle the blood around on the
altar that is at the doorway of the tent of
meeting. 6 He shall then skin the burnt offering
and cut it into its pieces. 7The sons of Aaron the
priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange
wood on the fire.

8Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the
pieces, the head and the suet over the wood
which is on the fire that is on the altar. 9 Its
entrails, however, and its legs he shall wash
with water. And the priest shall offer up in
smoke all of it on the altar for a burnt offering,
an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the
LORD.

The Law of Grain Offerings
1 ‘Now when anyone presents a grain offering as
an offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of
fine flour, and he shall pour oil on it and put
frankincense on it.

2 He shall then bring it to Aaron’s sons the
priests; and shall take from it his handful of its
fine flour and of its oil with all of its
frankincense. And the priest shall offer it up in
smoke as its memorial portion on the altar, an
offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the
LORD.

3The remainder of the grain offering belongs to
Aaron and his sons: a thing most holy, of the
offerings to the LORD by fire.

11 ‘No grain offering, which you bring to the
LORD, shall be made with leaven, for you shall
not offer up in smoke any leaven or any honey
as an offering by fire to the LORD. 12 As an
offering of first fruits you shall bring them to
the LORD, but they shall not ascend for a
soothing aroma on the altar.

13 Every grain offering of yours, moreover, you
shall season with salt, so that the salt of the
covenant of your God shall not be lacking from
your grain offering; with all your offerings you
shall offer salt.

The Law of Peace Offerings
1 ‘Now if his offering is a sacrifice of peace
offerings, if he is going to offer out of the herd,
whether male or female, he shall offer it
without defect before the LORD.

2 He shall lay his hand on the head of his
offering and slay it at the doorway of the tent of
meeting, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall
sprinkle the blood around on the altar. 3 From
the sacrifice of the peace offerings he shall
present an offering by fire to the LORD, the fat
that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on
the entrails,

4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on
them, which is on the loins, and the lobe of the
liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys.
5Then Aaron’s sons shall offer it up in smoke on
the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the
wood that is on the fire; it is an offering by fire
of a soothing aroma to the LORD.

Leviticus 2:11 NASB
11 ‘No grain offering, which you bring to the
LORD, shall be made with leaven, for you shall
not offer up in smoke any leaven or any honey
as an offering by fire to the LORD.

One of the OldTestament pictures of the Lord
Jesus Christ was the meal offering, and it
speaks of the indwelling Christ in our hearts.

http://davidmathiraj.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/leaven.jpg
Now, leaven, in the Bible, speaks of evil, it
speaks of corruption and always, in the Bible,
leaven is used as an emblem, a symbol, of sin.

When we make an offering to the Lord, it is to
be without leaven, because that speaks of
Christ in His purity.
And then, the offering is to be made without
honey.
Now, what does honey speak of?

Well, honey speaks of excessive sweetness.
He is not the candy Christ and our convictions
are not confectionary convictions.
We are not just to pour honey over that which is
not right, as if we can externally sweeten it up.

Christ is to be presented in His purity, and
Christ is to be presented in His integrity.
Without honey tells us that Jesus is to be
presented in integrity but then, what does salt
speak of?

Salt was used in the Bible for preserving and
purifying, it speaks of the preserving and
purifying life of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, and it speaks of the vitality of Jesus.
Present Him in: purity, integrity & vitality.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LF38B2VSVCg/WGWbSXa3JXI/AAAAAAAAAW4/CzfOemb4RKwIhLDQuHA0NlvWEQX7gx8oACLcB/s1600/purity.jpg
We're to present the Lord Jesus Christ without
leaven—that is, in purity.

http://workingwomenoffaith.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Integrity.jpg
We're to present the Lord Jesus Christ without
honey—that is, with integrity.

https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP._Komwc-aQsDr8QqrrTE3OQEsDk&w=211&h=160&c=7&qlt=90&o=4&dpr=1.25&pid=1.7
And, we're to present the Lord Jesus Christ with
much salt—that is, with vitality.

I. Presenting the Lord in His Purity:Without
Leaven
• Why is leaven a symbol of evil?
• What is leaven?
• Leaven is yeast.
• And, what does yeast do when you put it
in a loaf of bread?
• It causes corruption.

• It causes fermentation, it literally causes
decay (Psalm 16:10) and that speaks,
therefore, of evil, because evil wants to
infiltrate, to corrupt, and to puff up.
• Do you know where leaven works the
best?
• In lukewarm conditions.

https://joequatronejr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/lukewarm.jpg
• When you think in spiritual terms, what
does the concept of lukewarm remind
you of?

Revelation 3:15-16 NASB
15 ‘I (Jesus) know your deeds, that you are
neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold
or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm, and
neither hot nor cold (nauseating), I will spit you
out of My mouth.

God forbid that we be a lukewarm church.
Leaven works quietly, it's almost undetected
but it corrupts, and it puffs up.
It's very significant that the OldTestament said
that the meal offering is to be without leaven.

The Lord Jesus Christ says this to the Church:
Matthew 16:11-12 NASB
11 “How is it that you do not understand that I
did not speak to you concerning bread? But
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and
Sadducees.” 12Then they understood that He
did not say to beware of the leaven of bread,
but of the teaching of the Pharisees and
Sadducees.

https://bloorlansdownechristianfellowship.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/sadducees_vs_pharisees.jpg

1. The Leaven of the Pharisees: Legalism
• The leaven of the Pharisees is legalism,
the Pharisees were religious, but they
were legalists.
• They had heads full of Scripture, but they
had hearts full of sin.
• Oh, they were smart.
• They could dot every "i"; they could cross
every "t".

• But, they could not spell love.
• They majored in certain things.
• They quoted Scripture, but they
knew nothing of justice, mercy,
and faith.

Legalism is a terrible thing when it gets into a
church.
The easiest thing for a Bible-believing church to
slip into is legalism.
Be as much afraid of legalism as of liberalism.
Legalism is a terrible thing.

Legalism (Pharisees) and liberalism
(Sadducees) are heads and tails of the same
coin.
Jesus had more trouble with the Pharisees than
perhaps anybody else and they were the ones
who were Bible thumpers.

http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/39/92/df/3992dffe75bded78017c31f82c3dd7af.jpg
We are to present Christ in His purity without
the leaven of the Pharisees—which was
legalism.

2. The Leaven of the Sadducees: Liberalism
• And then, He said, "Beware of the leaven
... of the Sadducees" (Matthew 16:11).
• Who were the Sadducees?

• The Pharisees were the religious party
who were legalists and the Sadducees
were just the opposite.
• They were a religious party of Jesus' day
who were guilty of liberalism.
• Jesus is saying beware of legalism, and
beware of liberalism.

https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.at459sfAjAKKyUDJpsfcDgEsEs&pid=15.1
• The Sadducees said, "We don't believe in
the resurrection."
• They were too sophisticated to believe
that.

In Matthew 22, you'll find out why they did not
believe in the Resurrection.
Matthew 22:29 NASB
29 But Jesus answered and said to them (the
Sadducees), “You are mistaken, not
understanding the Scriptures nor the power of
God.”

That's a recipe for liberalism — not to know the
Scriptures and not to believe in the power of
God.
That's what makes liberals liberal!
They don't have a grasp of the Scriptures.

And they do not understand the power of God.
The modern-day Sadducees in seminaries
today—have the same problem.
They call themselves theologians—Theos
meaning "God"; logos meaning "the word."

Put them together; you have someone called a
theologian—someone who's supposed to be a
person who knows theWord of God, but they
don't believe the logos, and they don't know
theTheos; and so, they're not truly theologians.
They're like Grape Nuts—neither grapes nor
nuts!

How do they err?
"Not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of
God" (Matthew 22:29).
And, Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven ... of the
Sadducees" (Matthew 16:11).

http://churchofchristarticles.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/liberalism.jpg

https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.BpSa0Qz9dt81_JMLo-kfKQEgDY&pid=15.1
Jesus said to beware of the Pharisees and their
doctrine of legalism.

https://billmuehlenberg.com/res/uploads/2017/07/liberalism.jpg
Jesus said to beware of the Sadducees and their
doctrine of liberalism.

3. The Leaven of Herod: Licentiousness
• But, what about the doctrine of Herod,
or what about the leaven of Herod?
• Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees" (Matthew 16:11).
• Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven... of the
Sadducees" (Matthew 16:11).
• Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven... of
Herod" (Mark 8:15).

• Well, who was Herod?
• He was a wicked king.
• He was a pleasure-mad king.
• He was a licentious king.
• He was an immoral king but, he was
ruling the land, and Jesus said, "Watch
him. Beware of the leaven of Herod"
(Mark 8:15).

• Now, Herod was a religious man.
• Herod had a form of godliness, but his
regime was known by worldliness and
political corruption.
• There was even a party that followed
him—religious people called Herodians.
• Jesus said to watch out for
licentiousness.

http://thefrontporch.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/spiritual-warfare.jpg
No offering that you make should be made with
leaven; the leaven of Herod and the ways of the
world have invaded the sanctuary.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in these
last days, cannot be identified with any political
party.
We need to maintain a position to tell the
Sadducees, the Pharisees, and the Herodians to
repent.

Christ, not Herod, is King.
The Church must never attempt to use the
power of the government for spiritual goals.
Human government will always end up
disappointing you.

Learn this about government: government may
protect us, and it should; but it cannot improve
us morally or spiritually.
That's not the purpose of the government.

The government must be free to do what it
alone can do, so that the Church is free to do
what she alone can do.
This does not mean that, as Christians, we're
not to participate in government because we
certainly should and ought to.

Jesus said we're to render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesar's and unto God the
things that are God's (Mark 12:17).
We should not be infiltrated with the leaven of
Herod.

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8c/fb/b4/8cfbb4fcc240eda6ba2c68f35b10d691.jpg
The Church is so worried about the separation
of Church and state when we really need to be
concerned about the separation of Church and
world; worldliness that has come in.

Think of the difference between Herod and
Christ, and you'll see the difference between
government and true spirituality, the Church.
The Church ministers God's grace; the
government ministers God's justice.

The Church is to expose evil; the state is to
restrain evil.
The Church is to carry out the Great
Commission.
It's the state that makes it possible for us to
carry out the Great Commission in liberty and in
peace.

The Church is international in her work; the
state is national.
Jesus did not come to Earth to set up the United
States government; He came to set up a
kingdom that will never pass away.

We've got to look beyond any political solution
inWashington.
Our Lord said, "Beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees. Beware of the leaven of the
Sadducees. Beware of the leaven of Herod"
(Matthew 16:11; Mark 8:15).

The Church is not the servant of the state.
We're the conscience of the state.
We're to preach theWord of God.
We don't belong to the Democrats.
We don't belong to the Republicans.

We don't belong to the Independents.
We belong to our sovereign King Jesus.
We'll find a candidate, and we'll vote, we may
win; we may not.

But, when we vote, we're not going to vote for
party, or personality, or pocketbook; we're
going to vote for principle, and they're going to
be the principles of God'sWord.
And so, we must present Christ how?
What is our worldview?

We present Christ in purity without leaven—
without the leaven of the Pharisees, which is
legalism; without the leaven of the Sadducees,
which is liberalism; and without the leaven of
Herod, which is licentiousness.

http://www.biblestudy1.com/images/herod.jpg

II. Presenting the Lord in His Integrity:
Without Honey
• Not only must we present Christ in
purity, but we must present Christ in
integrity, with integrity—not only with
no leaven, but also with no honey.
• Now, what does honey speak of?
• Honey speaks of sweetness and this
offering was to be made without honey.

• We face some real serious issues today.
• We have some people who want to take
these serious issues and just ladle a little
honey over them.
• They get the idea that we have sort of a
saccharine gospel: a gospel that's all love
and no judgment.

• We're just going around with spoons full
of honey for everybody.
• We want to be loved by everybody.
• We want to not be irritable, and we want
to tell everybody that God is love.
• That's the honey gospel.

God is love, God is infinite love, God is
inexpressible love, God is undeniable love, God
is measureless love.
But, God is more than love; God is also a God of
justice and a God of wrath.

The fact that God is love is true, but it's only
part of the truth.
When you try to make part of the truth all of the
truth, that part of the truth becomes an
untruth.
The health and wealth, prosperity gospel.

We're not to preach a loveless Christ; we're not
to preach a Christ-less love.
We are to preach without leaven and without
honey and we're not to go around saying,
"Peace, peace," when there is no peace.
(Jeremiah 6 & 8)

We're not trying to make the Gospel more
palatable – a little sugar to make the medicine
go down—that's going to ruin our churches.
We have something in America called user-
friendly evangelism.

We ought to be friendly to those who come to
hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but it seems like
the people in the pew are the ones that are
dictating the message.
God did not call the pastor to fill the pew; He
called him to fill the pulpit.

http://3287-presscdn-0-34.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/photo2-760x570.jpg
We have too much honey being preached
today.

What has happened today is, so many churches
have become country clubs with steeples on the
top.
Rather than a sheepfold, they become a zoo,
where everybody gets in, and nobody gets out.

We are to present the Lord Jesus Christ—not a
saccharine Christ, not a candy Christ, not a
honey gospel, not confectionary convictions.
Do you know what we're moving toward in so-
called evangelical Christianity?
Universalism—the idea that everybody's going
to Heaven.

You'd be surprised how many Americans today
think they're going to Heaven and have never
been born again, and how many in the churches
would agree with them.
As a matter of fact, you don't hear much about
Hell anymore.

If we had more Hell in the pulpit, we'd have less
in the community!
If the Supreme Court could vote on it, they
would outlaw Hell as cruel and unusual
punishment and they'd say, "God can't do that.
That's un-American."

And so, we are pouring honey over problems,
trying to sweeten things up, but Jesus is to be
presented without leaven and without honey.
That's what Leviticus 2:11-13 tells us.

III. Presenting Christ in HisVitality:With Salt
• The Scripture goes on to say that no
offering unto the Lord shall be made
without salt (Leviticus 2:13).
• We are to present Christ in purity.
• We are to present Christ with purity,
integrity and we're to present Christ with
vitality - because salt speaks of the
saving life of Jesus.

• It speaks of the vitality of our faith.
• Now, Jesus not only spoke of leaven and
honey, but He also spoke of salt.
• Jesus told us to beware of leaven, but
notice what else Jesus said in Matthew
5:13.

Matthew 5:13 NKJV
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt
has become tasteless, how can it be made salty
again? It is no longer good for anything, except
to be thrown out and trampled under foot by
men.”

To understand what Jesus was saying it would
be helpful to understand the importance of salt
in Jesus' day.
Pure salt was very rare and extremely valuable
in Jesus' day, in some societies, it was more
valuable than gold.

https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.2JJgv4qKEV_JRHe4nKlP3gDtEs&pid=15.1

https://pearlsofprofundity.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/salt-salary.jpg
As a matter of fact, some workmen and soldiers
would be paid with salt.

Have you ever heard the expression, "That
man's not worth his salt?"
That's where that comes from.
Our very word salary comes from the word salt.
Salt was a very valuable thing, it was a medium
of exchange.

We are to be to this world very valuable.
What does salt do?
Salt prevents decay and rottenness, and that's
how we're to approach the world in which we
live.

Think of leaven, and honey, and salt.
We're not to be presenting Christ with leaven so
as to puff up this world and we're not to be
presenting Christ with honey so as to sweeten
up this world.

We are to be presenting the Lord Jesus with
salt—not to puff it up or sweeten it up, but to
salt it down, because it's in a terrible, decaying
condition.

ThingsThat Salt Will Do:
As we have a Christian worldview, we must
present the Lord Jesus with salt.
1. It Preserves and Decontaminates.
• One thing that salt does—it
decontaminates, it preserves.

• When Jesus said, "You're the salt of the
Earth," He was talking to fishermen
(Matthew 5:13).
• They didn't have ice to pack fish in, they
didn't have refrigeration.
• When they would catch their fish, they
would salt them down, because the salt
would prevent decay and corruption.

The USA is corrupting before our eyes, and the
reason is a lack of salt.
"Oh," you say, "we have salt."
Yes, but do you know what kind of salt we
have?

We have salt that is good for nothing.
Jesus said, "If the salt loses its saltiness, it's
good for nothing" (Matthew 5:13).

http://www.naturecures.co.uk/images/grafix/salts.jpg
The salt there in Judea would be adulterated,
mixed with gypsum by unscrupulous merchants
and could not be used to put on food.

It had lost its tang, it had lost its bite, it had lost
its saltiness.
What could you do with that kind of salt?
If you would take that kind of salt and cast it in
the field, it would kill the crops.

If you were to throw it in a stream, it would
poison the water source.
So, you know what they did with that kind of
salt?

They would put it on the roads, because it
would attract moisture, and it would harden,
and it would mix with the soil—kind-of like a
soil cement that would make the roads firmer
and stronger.

This is what they would do with salt that had
lost its saltiness because it was good for
nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden
under the feet of men.
That is salt that's lost its zest, it lost its flavor.

Why is the Church of the Lord God being walked on
today?
We've lost our saltiness!
We have preached Christ with leaven, and we have
preached Christ with honey.
It's about time we started preaching Christ with salt!

We've become the whipping boys of this
generation.
Salt prevents decay, and the USA definitely needs
the preserving salt of the Lord Jesus.
Look around us.
The cesspools of iniquity are full and running over.

Love has been forsaken for lust.
Satan is being magnified as a saint, and man is
being magnified above his Maker.
Sodomy has gone from a sin to a sickness to a
socially accepted practice.

It's time for the salt to work!
The only hope in the USA is more salt and the
problem is not with Hollywood; it's not with the
pornographers; it's not with the drug dealers;
it's not with the politicians; it's not even with
the theological liberals or legalists.

The problem is with salt-less saints.
Jesus said, "Ye are the salt of the Earth"
(Matthew 5:13).

2. Salt Seasons and Activates.
• Not only does salt preserve and
decontaminate, but salt seasons; it
activates, salt causes flavor to burst out.

https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.cL0o3x6_T_NNSNr0KgN2dwEsDH&pid=15.1
• Mashed potatoes, rice, popcorn and
boiled eggs are all better with a little salt
on them.

• Job 6:6 KJV
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten
without salt? or is there any taste in the
white of an egg?
• They asked a little boy to give a
definition of salt, and he said, "Salt is
what tastes bad when you don't have it."

Do you know what we need as Christians?
We need a zest, we need a flavor, a tang.
So many of us are living salt-less—flavorless—
lives.

Most of the people that you'll go to work with
tomorrow are not all that interested in going to
Heaven or Hell.
They want to know how to hack it on Monday,
and they want to know, "Does your life have
any zest in it? Does your life have any flavor to
it?"

The problem with many of us is that our
testimonies are without salt; they are flat.
Jesus talked about the blind leading the blind.

The problem with many of us is it's the bland
leading the bland, because we don't have any salt.
TheApostle Paul knew this.
He said:
Colossians 4:6 KJV
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned
with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer
every man.

Do you know why there are boring
preachers? Because, the preacher is
bored!
Do you know why the world pays no
attention to the Church? Because,
the Church is bored!

We have a wonderful Gospel, but
we're to present Christ with much
salt.
It's time for the salt to work and
that would be us!

3. Salt Medicates and Heals
• Not only does salt decontaminate, and
not only does salt flavor, but salt
medicates, and salt heals.
• Do you remember in the OldTestament
when Elisha came to a spring that was
poison?

• 2 Kings 2:19-20 KJV
19 And the men of the city said unto
Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation
of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth:
but the water is naught (that is, the
water is no good) and the ground barren.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and
put salt therein. And they brought it to
him"

• Elisha put salt in that spring, and the
waters were healed.
• Salty saints will turn barrenness and
bitterness into blessedness.

• The Gospel of Jesus Christ will heal
broken hearts, and broken hopes, and
broken homes.
• We need the antiseptic of the Gospel to
heal and bind up wounds.
• Ours is a hurting world and salt not only
preserves; it heals.

4. Salt Irritates
• Have you ever gotten salt in a wound? It
burns.
• Mark 9:49 KJV
49 “For every one shall be salted with fire,
and every sacrifice shall be salted with
salt.”

• When we take the pure, loving Gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ and present it with salt
rather than honey, it will sting.
• We're not always going to be popular.
• Many people today want the non-irritating
kind of Christianity.

• They'd rather have the honey than the
salt.
• If there is no offense, there is no effect.
• We need to quit trying to please
everybody.

• We need not be obnoxious, but we ought
to be bold.
• We ought to say, "Thus saith the Lord.“
• We ought to stop trying to win popularity
contests.
• You say, "We might lose some folks."
• We might!
• But, sometimes, we can't reach the goal
for stumbling over our own players.

5. Salt Penetrates
• You can take a pinch of salt and put that
salt in a jug of water, and it will permeate
that entire jug of water.
• There's a lot of salt in the USA—and
some good salt—but the problem is that
we've not allowed the salt to do its work,
because we've kept the salt in the
saltcellar.

• Our houses are like great big salt
warehouses—so are our churches.
• We spend too much time salting the salt.
• You don't put the fish in one barrel and
the salt in another.
• You say, "Well, we have such a wonderful
fellowship."

• Some of our fellowships are sacred
societies for snubbing sinners.
• We need to get out in our community
and bring people to Jesus Christ.
• Jesus said, "You're the salt of the Earth"
(Matthew 5:13).
• He didn't say, "You're the salt of the
Church."

• Salt penetrates.

I want to call us, as a Sunday School class, to
present the Lord Jesus Christ to our community
and to this world without leaven, and without
honey, and with much salt.
It's time for the salt to work!

I'm convinced that when our message is bloated
with leaven and dripping with honey, rather
than supercharged with salt, it has no effect.
God has been good to this church; God has
gathered us together and given us many assets.
There's a world out there that needs the Gospel
of Christ, and we're going to present Him.

We're going to present Him in purity, and
integrity, and in vitality.
Amen!

The Plan of Hope & Salvation
John 3:16 NASB
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish, but have eternal life.”
John 14:6 NASB
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father but through me.”

Romans 3:23 NASB
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23a NASB
23a For the wages of sin is death,
• Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
• Even Jesus, the only one who doesn’t deserve death,
died in this life to pay the penalty for our sins.
• The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the second
death explained in Revelation 21:8.

Revelation 21:8 NASB
8 “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable
and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and
idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that
burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second
death.”
Romans 6:23b NASB
23b but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.

Romans 5:8 NASB
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Revelation 21:7 NASB
7 “He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will
be his God and he will be My son.”
• Romans 10:9-10 explains to us how to be overcomers.

Romans 10:9-10 NASB
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and
believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes,
resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he
confesses, resulting in salvation.
Romans 10:13 NASB
13 for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE
SAVED.”
