The Gift of Salvation

II Corinthians 9:15

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift

Much has been written and discussed about salvation, but salvation is a topic worthy of continuous discussions because of the blessing it carries. Salvation is God's ultimate gift and what it does for all mankind makes it worthy of such discussions.

We know that it is a free gift from God through His Son Jesus Christ that was freely given out of love. Salvation was provided for humanity from the foundation of the world as God in His infinite wisdom knew that man was going to sin and would require saving. God also, knew that man was unworthy to redeem himself back to God and regain his right standing with God.

Being that God could not look on sin neither does He tolerate sin implemented the sacrificial systems as a way to atone man's sins knowing that animal sacrifices were insufficient and a permanent human sacrifice would atone for sin once and for all. Christ's one-time death bought man's freedom from the bondage of sin to a life of righteousness. Man has the opportunity to spend eternity with God as opposed to being separated from God our Creator both now and in our after life. Salvation-our freedom is the gift.

To receive and enjoy this gift one must accept Christ as his or her personal Savior because He freed us, redeemed us and then justified us. What a gift to be ever thankful for and offer praises to His holy name.
Have you accepted your gift today? Is joy of thanksgiving for the gift present in your praise and life? Accept the gift.
