SALT OF LIFE
One of my children had a birthday party.
Many children came to the party and gave her gifts like -
barbie dolls, pink ribbons or colouring books.
It was great to hear my daughter to thank for every present she got.
It warmed my heart to hear that.
It would have been quite embarrassing, -
if she would have said instead: "Eh... But I`ve already got one of these!"
Luckily that was not the case.
When the Creator of the universe gives the most precious gift -
to the people, one could imagine people would receive it, -
and receive it gratefully.
The Bible promises: "Yet to all who received him, -
"to those who believed in his name, -
"he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12 (NIV)
God gave us His only son Jesus, -
who then was crucified for our sins.
In Jesus our sins are forgiven.
That is the best, the most awesome present and gift that -
anyone, anywhere, in any time can ever get.
But people have to receive it to benefit from it.
When we receive this present, we become children of God, -
and we receive salvation.
This is a totally free gift from God.
