What If God Decided To Give Salvation To You As A Free Gift? (True Story)
A man was reading the Bible when another man approached him and asked: "Are you saved?"
The man replied: "I could never be good enough to be saved."
The other man asked: "What if God would give salvation to you as a free gift, would you receive it?"
"I don't know what kind of a fool you would think I am if I would not take a gift like that!" the man answered.
The other man directed him to open his Bible to John 10:28 which read: "...I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish..."
Then he also turned his attention to another passage, Romans 6:23 which read: "...the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Realizing for the first time in his life that salvation is a free gift from God, right there and then, he received God's salvation by faith in Christ. Like this man, many do not realize that salvation is a free gift from God.
Are you one of them?
