GOD'S GIFT IS CHRIST HIMSELF.
" God so loved the world, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life " (John 3. 16).
GOD'S GIFT IS LIVING WATER THROUGH CHRIST.
" If thou knewest the GIFT of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give Me to drink: thou wouldest have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water " (John 4. 10).
GOD'S GIFT IS ETERNAL LIFE.
" The wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom. 6. 23).
GOD'S GIFT OF FAITH.
" By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God " (Eph. 2. 8).
GOD'S GIFT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
" They which receive abundance of grace, and of the GIFT of righteousness, shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ " (Rom. 5. 17).
GOD'S GIFT IS THE HOLY GHOST.
" Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the GIFT of the Holy Ghost " (Acts 2. 38).
Reader, there is only one of two things you can do with a GIFT-accept it or reject it. It is impossible to buy it, or else it would be a purchase; to earn it, or else it would be your due. There is only one God-honoring course you can take, that is, RECEIVE it. Accept then God's gift in simple faith, and the blessings of the Gospel are yours. All God's gifts are in His blessed Son. It is impossible to receive one without Him. Receive Him, and you receive all.
