Free Gift?
That's right - the greatest gift that we can receive in this life is free. You see, Jesus Christ died for your sins so that you can have forgiveness and spend an eternity with him in heaven.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6
So, how do we accept this gift?
First, we have to realize that we are sinners. The Bible says: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
Second, we must know that because of our sin we've earned eternal death - something that we can only overcome through Jesus. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23
Finally, we must truly believe in this and confess it. The Scriptures Say: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." - Romans 10:9-10
So, how do we make this confession? All it takes is a simple prayer like this: Dear Lord,
I know that I'm a sinner and that I need your forgiveness. I believe that you died for my sins and rose again. I surrender my life to you and ask you to forgive me and be my Savior. In Jesus' name, Amen.
