WE HAVE THE GIFT OF GOD.......christianity

in #christianity7 years ago (edited)

Hello dear steemian in the lord,

As believers we need to understand that we have a lot of things in Jesus Christ.when we open our bibles to:

II CORINTHIANS 5 :17NIV Therefore,if anyone is in Christ ,the new creation has come:The old has gone ,the new is here.

 We are new creatures in Christ. A lot is involved in this statement of truth.We have great possessions and positions in Christ.We will not know all that we have, until we are with our lord in eternity.

LET US NOTICE THAT WE HAVE THE GIFT OF GOD

THE MEANING OF GIFT

  1. Benefaction
  2. Bonus
  3. Bounty
  4. Legacy
WE WILL DISCUSS THREE SUB-TOPIC UNDER THE GIFT OF GOD.
  • The free gift
  • The forever gift
  • The fine gift

A. THE FREE GIFT

Salvation is the free gift of God.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For its  by grace you have been saved,through faith and this is not yourselves,it is the gift of God 9 not by works,so that no one can boast.

we cannot work for our salvation.if we can ,salvation is not a gift ,it is a debt.This was what Paul was taking about in Romans 4:1-4.

A gift can only be accepted or received.No payment is needed.

if it were ,it would not be a gift

B.THE FOREVER GIFT

let answer this questions

How long does our salvation last?How long will we have it?

Those who believe you are saved by works generally believe you can lose your salvation.Jesus Christ tells us that we have everlasting life.

john 3:16&39 

This means salvation will last forever.

C.THE FINE GIFT

The greatest gift that l have ever been given was the gift of salvation or everlasting life.This gift was what l needed.

This gift is beneficial at all times.

This gift gives us the right to go to heaven.In fact a reservation has already been made for us there.

As born again believer in Chris Jesus,we have a gift from God
