Receiving a gift is a special thing. How would you like to receive the greatest gift of all, right now?

What is the Gift? Who is it from? And how do I receive it? These are all good questions, and the answers are all found in God’s Holy Word.

The Bible, God’s Word, says in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Sin is an awful thing. All of us stand before God guilty of sin, having broken His Holy Law.

The Bible also says there is a terrible penalty for sin. Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death.” God judges sinners. Revelation 21 :8 “...and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Hell is a real place. All of us deserve to go there as the punishment for our sin. This leaves man in an awful state, his greatest need unsatisfied.

Thankfully, we learn from God’s Word that His greatest gift meets our greatest need. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son...” Many years ago Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to earth, endured tremendous suffering, bled, and died on the cross, and rose triumphantly from the grave to become our greatest gift.

God saw we were headed for hell, but God’s grace allowed His only begotten Son to be crucified to pay for our sin. Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” The gift Jesus Christ bought for us was not only the mercy to save us from hell, but also the assurance of a home in heaven. According to God’s own Word, the greatest gift is forgiveness for our sin and life forever with Him! “...But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

You can do one of two things with this gift. Refuse it or accept it. If you want to accept it, the Bible says in Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” All you have to do is repent (agree with God about your sin), turn to God and ask Him to save you. If you believe what God has said in His Word about sin and the punishment you deserve in hell, and want to accept His great gift, then sincerely pray and ask Him for it.

Dear God,

From the bottom of my heart, I realize I am a sinner, and deserve to be separated from God. The best that I know how, I turn from the sin in my life and trust Christ. Forgive me for my sin, and take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me. Help me to live for you for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
