The Greatest Gift

Listen to the audio version of this page

When someone gives you a gift, how much do you have to pay for it?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Because a gift is not something you earn—it’s something you receive.

Today, we want to invite you to receive the greatest gift there is—one that never fades, never breaks, and does not depend on your efforts:
eternal life.

Yes, eternal life is a gift from God, and we would love to share with you why.

The Bible tells us that all of us have failed at some point. Even when we try to do what’s right, we could never be perfect enough to earn heaven on our own. But here is the good news: God loves us just as we are, even with our imperfections. He knew we could not save ourselves.

That’s why, in His great love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross to carry our sins and, on the third day, He rose again. Because of His sacrifice, our debt before God was completely paid. What we could never do on our own, Christ did for us.

Now then, what do you have to do to receive forgiveness and eternal life?

The only requirement to be forgiven is to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. Believe that what takes you to heaven is not your human efforts, but what Christ did on the cross. The sacrifice of Jesus is sufficient payment before God.

Jesus Christ said:
“TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO YOU, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME HAS ETERNAL LIFE”
(John 6:47)

What do you think about this, my friend? Would you like to receive the gift of eternal life? Do you acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God? Do you believe that Jesus died to pay your debt to God? Talk to God with the following prayer:

God, heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to die for me on the cross. Today I trust only in Jesus for my salvation. By faith I receive Your gift of eternal life. Thank You for the forgiveness of all my sins. Amen.
