Salvation is Free

May 30, 2013

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
–Romans 3:24

Salvation is free! God puts no price tag on the Gift of gifts—it’s free! Preachers are not salesmen, for they have nothing to sell. They are bearers of Good News—the good tidings that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3). Money can’t buy it. Man’s righteousness can’t earn it. Social prestige can’t help you acquire it. Morality can’t purchase it. It is, as Isaiah said, “without money and without price.”

God is not a bargaining God. You cannot barter with Him. You must do business with Him on His own terms. He holds in His omnipotent hand the priceless, precious, eternal gift of salvation, and He bids you to take it without money and without price. The best things in life are free, are they not? The air we breathe is not sold by the cubic foot. The water which flows crystal clear from the mountain stream is free for the taking. Love is free, faith is free, hope is free.

Prayer for the day

Even though my salvation was obtained only through the costliest sacrifice ever made, You freely gave it to me. Lord, I praise You for this gift so lovingly given.

There are so many reasons to love and praise God; but the greatest is that He loved us so much that He allowed Jesus to die covered in all of our sin! It is so amazing!!

Thank you so much for making this more clear to me. I usually feel like salvation is only earned by doing good things and always being completely faithful all the time. You have made it clear to me that I can't earn salvation. God bless you.

God absolutely deserves our praise, worship and obedience; He loves us and we should love Him back. Since He cares so much, so should we. May that which blinds us to His reality be removed in the precious name of JESUS CHRIST. Amen

Praise to my Lord Jesus Christ. Cannot put into words how much I love him. We are but filthy rags but he loves us beyond belief and to send his son for us so that we may be with him forever is ???

The price for our freedom was very costly..Thank you Lord for paying the price so future generations could live in eternal joy.

Ritu says 5.30.2011, 11:22 a.m.

I had not realized that indeed the BEST things are free. Love,faith and hope are free. Thank You Lord Jesus.

In today's world you have to pay for parking, signal in the electromagnetic spectrum and a high price is put on a land that gives both beauty and privacy. It would seem that in this kind of environment free salvation would be more appealing than ever. This however is not the case. Just as advertisers speak up about what they have to offer for a price; we need to speak up more about how the price for our sins was paid for through Christ and salvation from sin is free for the asking.

Can you imagine how pleased you would be if you were to go to the bank one day to make another mortgage payment and the banker said it has been paid in full you are mortgage free. How much more amazing is it to know that your Sin-debt has been paid in full by God's Holy Son. You are now a member of his Holy Family and will live forever with him in Paradise. It doesn't get any better than that and it totally free for the asking.
