The Gift

The Gift

You’d be surprised if you knew how many blessings God wants to GIVE you.  And all these gifts are found in THE GIFT of God ~ His own dear Son.

“For God so loved the world, that He GAVE His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”   John 3:16

God GAVE His Son.  Isaiah prophesied 600 years before Christ came—

“A Son is GIVEN.”   Isaiah 9:6

Paul, speaking of God’s Son wrote,

“Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable GIFT.”   2 Corinthians 9:15

Do you want peace with God?  Do you long for hope?  Do you seek forgiveness?

God wants to GIVE you all of these!

YOUR NEED

A man once said, “If only I had a message from heaven telling me that my sins are forgiven!” Perhaps you are like that man.  You know you are a sinner because the Bible says:

"All have sinned.”   Romans 3:23. 

Then you must know that you are under the penalty of death,

For the wages of SIN IS DEATH.”   Romans 6:23.   

But!! “God commendeth (demonstrated) His love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”   Romans 5:8.  

The Lord Jesus proved His love for you when He gave His blood and His life on the cruel cross to pay the wages of sin.  He rose again.  Now He is seated at- “the right hand of the Majesty on high.” Hebrews 1:3.

God offers His Risen Son to you as His GIFTReceive His GIFT!  You will not only have HIM, but you will have all that God offers you in HIM.  All of God’s Gifts are found in THE GIFT of His Son.

FORGIVENESS

“In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”  Ephesians 1:7

PEACE –

“He is our peace.”   Ephesians 2:14    When you receive Him you’ll have peace.

ETERNAL LIFE –

“This is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is IN HIS SON.”  I John 5:11-12.  “He that hath the Son hath life.”

You cannot work for salvation. You cannot earn passage to Heaven on your own.  You will never deserve forgiveness.  You cannot merit peace.  BUT, God will GIVE you all these blessings in His Son.  Your part is just to take God’s GIFT, His Son, as your Lord and Saviour.

As many as received Him, to them gave He power (the right) to become the sons of God.” John 1:12

What a tragedy to refuse God’s GIFT

Please, why not pray and tell the Lord Jesus Christ right now that you’ll receive Him as Saviour.

 “Dear God, I confess to You that I am a sinner.  I know it was for me—and because of me—that Jesus died.  Please forgive me of my sins—big, medium and small, past, present and future.  Thank You for Jesus, Who cleanses me of my sin and makes me white as snow.  I know now that I am clean and forgiven and ready for eternity with You.  Thank you for giving me Jesus!  Amen.”
