First, let me start by saying that I enjoy this scripture very much. It gives a sense of hope and salvation to all those who turn against sin and give themselves fully to the Lord. The way I understand it, it starts by saying to offer yourself fully to the Lord, not to sin. If you give yourself to God, you will no longer be a slave to sin, but a slave for righteousness. It continues to say that once you do turn to God and offer your allegiance, you are set free from sin. We learn from this that we gain nothing but shame when we give in to sin. But, when we turn to God and are devoted to him and his word, you gain the most valuable gift, the gift of eternal life. As stated in line 23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”.
