By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Romans chapter 6:
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God iseternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Your wages represent payment for the work associated with that payment. Payment or your reward for sin is death and your reward for your decision to embrace Jesus Christ is eternal life, a true gift from Our Heavenly Father.
When power is given or assigned to others and is concentrated among the few, corruption often enters in. If men are not led by THE SPIRIT,, this corruption spreads rapidly until people suddenly realize their values are no longer represented by those in power. The death of the European Union is one such example. Only leaders led by THE SPIRIT can truly serve the masses and Love must be their primary motivation.
