The Grace of God
Thursday, May 10, 2018
The Bible teaches that God's favor and a person's entrance into heaven can only be obtained as a free gift. This teaching contrasts with the teaching of every religion in the world. Every religion teaches that people must earn the favor of God by doing something to make them worthy. It is helpful to state this truth in different ways. Eternal life is God's gift to you. Heaven is a free gift. A person does not, indeed cannot earn their way into heaven. In Romans 6:23 we read, "The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
