Scripture

1 Corinthians 7

23 God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Observation

Many people feel like they have to work for their salvation because in their thinking they question how could just trusting in what Christ did on the cross save them. They feel that eternal life must cost them something. The Bible says that eternal life is completely free for those who receive it; it was very costly for God to provide it – it cost Him the life of His one and only Son. So it is both free and very costly. You can’t work for a gift, if you have to work for it then it is no longer a gift – it becomes something you have earned.

Application

“But life is nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus – the work of telling people the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”

Acts 20:24

I will look for opportunities to share the Good News today.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me do the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus – the work of telling people the Good News about Your mighty kindness and love.
