A Free Christmas Gift for Each of You!!

Christmas is a time when we focus on giving gifts.  It's tradition.  After all, the wise men brought gifts to Jesus when he was a young child.  

But the Child that was given the gifts was actually the GREATEST GIFT ever given.  He was given by a loving God to a sinful world.  Jesus is the gift of salvation.  HE was born to die.  He died in our place and for our sin.  He took our sin upon Himself and paid for them on the cross.  Salvation is a FREE gift.  Completely FREE!!  And you can have it!

You don't have to do anything to earn HIM!  You don't have to beg or plead, you simply have to call upon Him - once.  You simply have to believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!!  You don't have to be baptized.  You don't have to "make it somehow".  You can know for sure that you WILL be in Heaven someday.  YOU can KNOW that all is well.  You can help your children to know too!  

No one can go to Heaven because of their sin!

Romans 3:10 & 12 & 23 ~ As it written there is NONE righteous, no, not one:...They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one....For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 

We can't work our way to Heaven.

Romans 3:28 ~ Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.  

Romans 4:5-6 ~ But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.  Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works.  (Imputeth is an old English word that means to attribute or charge.  Jesus will attribute HIS righteousness to us without works.}

Romans 4:3 ~ For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.  For what saith the scripture?  Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.   

{In other words, if you could work your way to Heaven, Abraham would have plenty to brag about.  But he couldn't brag before God because the only thing that saved him was his belief in God and not his works.  When "Abraham believed God it was counted to him for righteousness".  He was saved through his belief in God alone.}

Isaiah 64:6 ~ But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; 

{even the "righteousness" that we have, or our good works, is comparable to "filthy rags" in God's eyes.  There is NO WAY you and I can work our way to Heaven.  There is NOTHING we can do to gain Heaven on our own.  Not when even our good works are filthy in God's eyes!}

There is Hope!

Romans 5:1 ~ Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"...

Romans 5:6 ~  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8 ~ But God commendeth his love toward is, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

Romans 5:18 ~ Therefore as by the offence of one {Adam's sin} judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one {Jesus} the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 

Romans 6:23 ~ For the wages of sin is death' but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

It's a FREE gift!  You just need to accept it ~

Romans 10:9 -10 & 13 ~ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It's a FREE GIFT for you and everyone you know!  You can't pay for it.  You can't earn it.  All you have to do is believe that Jesus was born the Son of God.  He lived a sinless life and died on the cross for our sin.  He paid for your sin when He died on the cross.  He rose from the dead three days later!!!  He conquered sin, death and Hell for you!  He's not dead.  He's alive in Heaven and He wants YOU to accept this free gift of salvation that He's offering you!  

Believe these things and call upon the name of the Lord.  Ask Him to forgive you of your sin!  It only takes a few seconds, but it will change the rest of your life!  It's that simple and easy! 

What better time than Christmas to accept this FREE gift that God has so lovingly given us??  It's FREE!  It's for YOU because God LOVES YOU!!
