A GIFT
If your Mother or Daddy
gives you a gift, do you have to pay for it? Of course not, because if you did,
it would not be a gift. The one who
receives a birthday gift, or a gift at some other time, simply takes it when it
is offered, and says to the one who gave it, ”Thank you very much.”
So it is with God’s
gifts. He does not expect us to pay for
them, but does expect that we will thank Him.
But we must take a gift before we can thank anybody. “The gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
God so loved this world of
sinners that He gave His dearly beloved Son to be our Saviour. Have you received Him, and said, “Thank
you,” to God? The apostle Paul said, “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable
Gift.” 2 Cor. 9:15
