GIFT is defined as: “Present, a thing given, a donation, to bestow.” (Romans 6:23) “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Titus 3:5) “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.”

GIFT infers that someone purchased it and extended it to the receiver for his/her benefit. (Romans 5:8) “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (I Corinthians 15:3) “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”

GIFT must be received in order to complete their purpose. (John 1:12) “But to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (Acts 16:32) “And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.”

GIFT rejection results in eternal consequences. (John 3:18) “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (Hebrews 9:27) “And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

If you are willing to acknowledge to God your sinfulness, repent of (turn from) your sins, and trust what Christ did on the cross in dying for your sins personally, and call upon Him to be your Saviour, you can be saved. (Romans 10:13) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
