James 1:17 “Every g o o d gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” GOOD GIFT.This season, people look forward to gifts from family and friends.But few stop to look upward and remember this truth: God already gave the greatest Gift Heaven could send. The Heavenly Father gave His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.His Gift alone has eternal value, eternal merit, and eternal purpose. The Gift of Eternal Life“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” — Romans 5:17 (KJV) Salvation is a gift, not a debt to repay. Salvation is a gift of righteousness, because you have none of your own to offer. Salvation is a gift by ONE—not faith plus works, not church plus tradition, not Jesus plus anything.A gift must be received, not earned.And when churches add conditions, they turn grace into bondage and Christ’s Gift into man’s religion.Accept the Gift—freely given, fully paid for, and eternally sufficient.
