Free and easy!

(John Vann)

You may have seen an advertisement campaign before that said that someone was giving away something for free. Of course we know that nothing is free. There is always a catch, but let me tell you there is one thing that is free, and there is no catch. That thing is salvation through faith in Jesus Christ our savior. On top of that there are no restrictions. No age limits, no credit checks, No sign-up fees. It’s not like the first month is free then after that you have to start paying. No contracts that you have to sign. There is no small writing at the bottom of the page. No sir, it’s all right there in large letters written in red.
Jesus Christ the son of God left the glories of Heaven, came into this world with the intentions of being born a baby. Growing into a man and dying on the cross to provide forgiveness for your sins. Then Jesus Christ rose from the grave to give proof of eternal life. Then he ascended back into heaven. But, before he left, he assured us that he was preparing for us, a place with him in Heaven. There was no other way that we could be forgiven of our sins, and there is no other way that we could be reconciled to God. There was no other way that we could escape spending eternity in Hell.

It’s pretty simple really. The Holy Spirit calls you. You answer the call. Then you say, “I need Jesus.” It’s just that simple.

I said earlier that it didn’t cost you anything but, you do give something for your salvation. You give Jesus your heart, your soul, your love and your life. In exchange, Jesus gives you Peace, joy, and eternal life.

If you reject the offer, then you must live your life without God’s blessings. You will never be reconciled to God. That means you will always be God’s enemy. No matter how good of a person you are, There will never be rewards for you in Heaven. You will spend your eternity in hell. God does not sentence you to spend your eternity in hell. You have made that decision for yourself.

Some people claim that it is a one time offer. But, I believe that Jesus never quits wanting to save us. I do not believe that Jesus would ever turn anyone away. I believe that Jesus loved us enough to die for us, and I believe that Jesus loves us enough to not want any of us to perish. So, if you do not feel like Jesus has called you to be one of his followers, Pray that God opens your eyes. Pray that God does, whatever it takes to change your heart. Jesus said it would be better to live your life, maimed or blind, than to spend your eternity in hell. Jesus is the only hope you have, and he has not left you alone. Jesus said search and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened.

Yes, salvation is free. That’s an offer that no one should pass up on.
