Salvation: A Legal Gift. by marcopollo(m): 7:31am On Feb 14, 2016
✞ Salvation: A Legal Gift.
.
No one is accepted by God based
on their ‘’personal merit’’ before or after salvation.
.
Your behavior, "good or bad
deeds’', play no part in securing nor maintaining your salvation as
salvation is a *free gift* of God.
.
Does this mean it is “ok" to sin?
Absolutely NOT!!! Sin is never a
casual matter with God. It is an
assault to his holiness.
.
What it means is that salvation is a *free gift* from God, apart from
our behavior or it would NOT be a
gift at all. It would be merely an
arrangement.
............................................................................
*Dictionary: Legal Gift: A voluntary
transfer of property from one
individual to another, made
gratuitously-[without charge] to
the recipient without conditions
.
The individual who makes the gift
is known as the donor, and the
individual to whom the gift is
made is called the donee.
.
Once the gift is received and takes
possession of the gift the donor has *no further legal claim on the
item* by donor.
.
It can NOT be legally taken back by the donor from the donee. It is
ILLEGAL for the donor to later take
the "GIFT" away from donee.
...........................................................................
.........
Eph2.8 “For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the *GIFT* of God:”
Rom.6:23 KJV, "... the *GIFT* of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
.
The Bible gives us instruction on
how to receive the GIFT of salvation
in Ro.1:16, and the *Gospel of Our
Salvation* is found here, 1Cor.15:1-4.
.
Romans 1:16
“For I am not ashamed of *the
gospel* of Christ: for it is the power of God to *SALVATION* to every one that *believeth*-[trust-in]...”
.
* The Gospel of Our Salvation *
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 "“Christ died
for our sins. … He was buried. … He
was raised on the third day,
according to the Scriptures.”
.
Salvation is a free and unmerited
'gift' from God, granted *through
faith* in Jesus, upon believing he
shed his blood and died on a cross
to pay for our sins and rose from
the tomb to provide us with
everlasting life, all sin forgiven,
indwelt by the Holy Spirit and
heaven bound.
.
Will you trust him and what he did to save you now?
.

I love people with intellect but show me a person who has the REVELATION OF CHRIST BEHIND THE GRACE, then I go salute.


Grab grace!
