God's Gift to You

God's great gift to you is his Son. All that God has for you is in his only Son. His Son brings you eternal life filled with love, joy, and peace. The gift of God, like any other gift, must be personally received. Have you received the gift of God in Christ?

The Bible makes it clear that the gift of God's Son is received by faith. The reason it must be received by faith is because it is a personal relationship with God through Jesus his Son. All relationships are built upon faith or trust. 

When you trust Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you are trusting him to take away all of your sins and give you eternal life. You are trusting him to work in your life for your good and God's glory. You are trusting him in life and death.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23, NLT).
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16, NLT).
