Romans 6:21

Romans 6:21 What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

'Fruit' -'Well, what did you gain by it all? Nothing but what you are now ashamed of!' (Mof)

'Ashamed' -sin always takes you farther than you thought you would go, it keeps you longer than you planned to stay, and costs you more than it's advertized price. 'Shame' is not found in the gospel message (Romans 1:16), but plenty of it is found in. life lived apart from God. (Romans 1:26-27)

'Sin promises to be. friend while it really is. foe; it promises life while it brings death; it promises freedom while it brings slavery; it promises laughter while it brings remorse and shame.'

Like the Israelites of old, when tend to only remember the 'good' in the old days. Former sinner, those 'old glory days' contained. lot of pain, shame, heartache, loneliness, depression, discouragement, etc..and don't you EVER FORGET WHAT IS WAS REALLY LIKE!

'end of those things is death' -always 'look ahead' to see where your life is headed.. life lived apart from God is. DEAD-END CAREER!
