Salvation Is Not Free

Hello everyone,

As we know, we cannot buy anything without a price placed on it right? Everything has a price. Many as I’ve heard have said salvation is the only free thing given to us, but salvation isn’t actually free as many think. Jesus paid the price for our sins that we might gain salvation. Is that it? No, that’s not what I’m talking about. Jesus paid the price for our sins, sin was the wall blocking us from salvation which Jesus has offered the world, but contrary to many people’s thought, salvation is not free. So, why is salvation not free and what are we to pay in order to get salvation, that’s for those who haven’t gotten salvation?

If you have received salvation, think properly and you would remember that you paid a price before you received salvation. Let’s take look at John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” you pay for salvation with your belief or faith, without believing in Jesus you cannot get salvation. Your belief is not something you take for granted, because the lack of it can prevent anyone from receiving salvation. If you never had faith or belief in Jesus you wouldn’t have received salvation.

Faith is a currency as many know, but one thing about it is that what we need is offered to us, but it is left to us to receive it, of which the act of receiving is faith or belief in Jesus. Let us not take our salvation for granted, for Jesus first paid the price for our sins in order for us to gain access to salvation. Jesus has done everything for us, providing all the needs that we never merited, these are enough reasons for us to receiving salvation by believing in Jesus. The more you increase in faith, it allows you to believe the more what has been offered you. Even though salvation appears to be free, it won’t be free without faith. So how do you acquire more wealth of faith? Easy, Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).” AMP.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
