Is It Really Free?

Scripture:
Psalm 103:19-22
2 Timothy 2:1-7

The age old question of salvation is one of the easiest to answer.  So why is it that we struggle with something so simple?  We tend to put a value to everything.  The better it is, the higher the quality the more expensive it must be.  Something that sells for less must not be as good.  Because of this mindset I think people have a hard time believing salvation comes so easily and cheap.  Well to tell the truth it wasn’t easy and it isn’t cheap.  Salvation comes to us through pain and suffering and death.  Fortunately we do not have to pay this price.  God gives it to us freely and without reservations.  Again why do we have a hard time with it?  Because we think it can’t be that easy or free.  Grace cannot be worth that much since we don’t have to pay for it.  Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

The best thing is that not only is Grace the most precious gift we can receive it is an everlasting gift.  Nothing can take Grace away from us.  Nothing can separate us from God.  Once we have received Grace we are assured of salvation no matter what.  No one not even Satan can take it away from us.   Romans 8:38-39 “³⁸For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 


Let us ban together in the Grace that is in Christ.  Let us help one another keep from being distracted or entangled in affairs of this world.  We need to keep our focus on God and allow Him to work through us so that the light of this world can shine through us.  God will always be with us.  Let all we do be to glorify Him.  Let the world see Christ in us and through us may others find the free gift of GRACE…
