The Gift

The free gift of God is eternal life through His son Jesus Christ. A free Gift given to whosoever will come to Him in repentance, a repentance which is a call directly from God Himself. He not only provided the salvation gift through His death on the cross when He died in our place for a debt we could not pay. He made us aware of our sinful nature in such a way that we experienced the repentance necessary to ask forgiveness, turn away from the sins, surrender and invite Him into our lives. He does it all for us. When we responded to this the gift we received new Life, Life eternal.

The Christian walk comes in the same package. In Romans it tells us to live by faith just as we were saved by faith. In other words. We trust God to live His life through us just as we trusted in him to save us.

For it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me and the life I now live I live by faith in the one who gave himself for me.

For it is God who is at work in me to not only will me but to do the work.

What is our part in this whole picture? Trust, belief and surrender through a heart that says, "Here is my life, Lord. It is yours."

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
