CHRISTMAS - THE FREE GIFT

Romans 5: 17, 18, 21
For if by one man's offense death reigned by one, much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, JESUS Christ. Therefore, as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life... That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by JESUS Christ, our LORD.

THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE WITH GOD.

The three gifts given to JESUS, as a young child, foretold of His life and prophesied of His death. JESUS' life and righteousness opened the door for us, to the grace of a personal relationship with Almighty GOD. JESUS received gifts, so that He could be the giver of gifts to us. 

"GOD so love 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 is the giver of grace and it is FREE to all who believe in JESUS. It is free to us who believe, but it cost GOD His only Son to make it possible. "Grace is not cheap; but it is free", these are the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Through the righteousness of JESUS, we can be justified to GOD.

When does eternal life begin? It begins when we receive JESUS into our heart and believe that He came in the flesh, died, rose again, is seated at the right hand of the Father and is coming again. Eternal life comes as a free gift from GOD through JESUS Christ the LORD.

BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND BE SAVED
