8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, Eph 2:8 NKJV
THE FREE GIFT
We each are offered a free gift from God. It is from God Himself and therefore the best and most wonderful of all possible gifts. It is a gift that assures us that if we accept His Son as our Savior we can ask God for the forgiveness of our sins through Jesus. We will be forgiven.
SAVED AND A HOME IN HEAVEN
Just like that, we will be free from the guilt of our sins. They are forgiven and gone and we are free.
Furthermore, we are gifted with the gift of eternal life in Heaven with God Himself when our earthly bodies die.
IT IS A GIFT OF GRACE
Indeed, this gift from and of God is a gift of grace.
In fact, we do not deserve it at all.
So there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that we could ever do to earn such a gift of favor.
We have been given grace and saved because we have faith in His Risen Son. It has nothing to do with our accomplishments or
goodness. Therefore, it has all to do with God’s gift of His Son, and His Son’s gift on the cross for our sins.
He died in our place.
Furthermore, we would go to hell were it not for Jesus. Our sins would put us in hell and give us death for eternity.
THANK YOU, FATHER, JESUS, AND HOLY SPIRIT!
It is only the gift of God that brings life to us here and for all eternity. Thank you, Father, from Whom all blessings flow !! Praise to You, Jesus, for dying in our place that we might live! Thank You, Holy Spirit for filling us with the Love of God.
