Freely Given

Jesus freely gave Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind so that whoever believes in Him can have eternal life.  Jesus gave Himself to us and for us, BUT if we want eternal life we must take HIM, HIMSELF as the Gift, Him and His Words.
Many people want eternal life but they don’t want Jesus. Jesus Himself is the Way and the Truth and the Life. We cannot have life without Jesus. We cannot have eternal life if we DO NOT OBEY JESUS. We cannot have eternal life if we DO NOT LOVE JESUS and if we DO NOT OBEY HIM. Our salvation, eternal life, depends on our RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. We will only enter into the Kingdom of Heaven if we LOVE JESUS and if we FOLLOW JESUS, if we walk with Jesus. We will not enter that narrow Door without Jesus. Do you love Jesus? Do you obey Him? Do you deny yourself and pick up your cross every day and follow Jesus? Is Jesus your life or do you not have Jesus? Because without Jesus we don’t have eternal life. Without Jesus we can do nothing, without Jesus we are nothing. He gave Himself FREELY to us and for us and therefore we have to GIVE ourselves TO HIM, to serve Him, to follow Him and to love Him.
May Jesus bless you.
