A gift must be received in order to be enjoyed!
You need God's Gift because you need a Savior. "All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God'' (Romans 3:23). "There is NO man that sinneth not." (1 Kings 8:46). "The wages of sin is death (eternal separation from God)" (Romans 6:23).
Someday you must face a holy God in your sins-unless you find some way to remove them.
The Lord Jesus said, "Ye...shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come" (John 8:21).
If you try to earn or merit forgiveness and favor with God (which you can't), you will never be sure you are saved, for how can you know that you are good enough and religious enough?
There is a better way! It is "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.." (Titus 3:5).
God in His grace and mercy wants to give you His salvation, by giving you His Son.
"For God so loved the word, that He GAVE His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should no perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 9:15, "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift."
When He was just a little baby, God's Gift was called His "Salvation". (See Luke 2:30)
God's Gift, born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life and then gave his blood on the cross as wicked men nailed Him up to die.
Receive Him today! Just tell Him, in your own words, that you know you are lost, guilty sinner, and that you trust Him to forgive your sins and give you eternal life.
What a tragedy to refuse God's Gift! What a privlege to receive Him by faith. So take Him NOW and then believe in and rejoice in His promise found in John 6:47: "He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life."
