God's Gift To Me

Hello Everyone,
Using an Acrostic I would like to look at the word GRACE this week.
First there is:
G - GOD'S GIFT TO ME.
Romans 3;24 "All of us need to be made right with God by His grace, which is a free gift through Jesus Christ."

You need to understand that God says that salvation is absolutely free.
You don't work for a gift. It's a free gift. God says salvation is absolutely free. You can't earn it, you can't buy it, and you can't work for it.

Of all the other religions, Christianity is the only religion that's built on grace.

Every other religion is based on works and you can summarize them in one word -- "do".
On the other hand, if you were to summarize Christianity in one word, it's the word "done". It's already been done for you.

It was done on the cross by Jesus Christ. He paid for your salvation. He paid for your sins. It's already been done.

If you want to know what you can do to be saved "You're too late!" "You're about 2000 years too late!
What needed to be done for your salvation has already been done and you can't do anything about it."

When Jesus Christ, was hanging on the cross with His arms stretched out He said "It is finished." What's the "it"? Your salvation!
God says, "Here it is. It's a free gift."

I'm not getting to heaven based on what I do. I'm getting to heaven based on what has already been done for me by Jesus Christ.

That's the greatest gift you're ever going to be offered.
It's God's gift to you and me and it is FREE!

All for Jesus
Pastor Phil
