A Priceless Gift

Are we automatically saved because
of the sacrifice of Jesus? Does salvation
just fall into our laps? Salvation is not
based on how good we are, because it is
impossible to ever be good enough. And
doing the right things now will not pay the
penalty for sin already committed. We all
need someone to save us – a Savior.
Salvation is a gift because we can’t
earn it. And we don’t need to work for it.
“For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith—and this is
not from yourselves, it is the gift
of God—not by works, so that no
one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
We can receive this gift through faith
in Jesus; believe in Him as your Savior,
in what He did for you. Then the sacrifice
of the blood He shed for your sins will be
applied to you. On top of that, you will be
freed from the hold sin had on you.
