AUDIO VERSIONGIFT OF ETERNAL LIFEImagine this: life is like a job, and sin pays its wages, death. It is not the most appealing job. Sin promises temporary pleasure but delivers lasting consequences.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
It is a dead end gig, literally. But here is the incredible opportunity, God is offering us a different job and paycheck, the gift of eternal life.
Notice that it is a gift. Gifts are not earned; they are given freely out of love. God extends this incredible gift we could never buy or earn in His immense love for us.
We do not have to work for it or prove our worthiness; all we need to do is accept it.
Now, let us talk about the contents of this gift: eternal life. It is not just any life; it is life with a capital L that transcends the boundaries of time and space.
It is a life that starts now, stretches into eternity, and is full of grace, love, and the presence of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Think about it, eternal life in Jesus. It is not just a life insurance policy for the future; it is a relationship with Jesus today. It is about walking hand in hand with Jesus, who conquered death and sin to experience abundant life here and now.
But there is always a choice, right? We need to make a choice. We can stick with the old job, with sin as our employer, and cash in on its grim paycheck. Or, we can choose a new job, with God as our Boss, and receive the gift of eternal life.
What is your choice today? The wages of sin or the gift of eternal life? It is a no brainer for us, We are going for the gift of Eternal Life! Will you join us today?

I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that Jesus died for my sin and that You raised Him to life.

Heavenly Father, I am very thankful to You, Father God, for the precious gift of love You gave for all of us. The price of Jesus life made this all possible. I now have Him as Lord and Savior and I will live for Him and with Him for eternity. What a precious price was paid for my eternal life with You. I am bought and paid for by the blood of the Lamb, Father God, and I will submit each day of my life to serve You. Thank You, Father. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
