Eternal life is a gift
There is a braand new Buona Beef opening up by Anita and myself home.
They have already determined without me doing anything that everyone gets a free beef sandwich the day they open.
Now - there are requirements for me to receive the free beef
I have to go to the one restaurant that offers the free Buona Beef sandwich...
for you see there is...
one Buona Beef
one Buona Beef in Flossmoor
one Sandwich being offered
one day that it is offered
one given time that the free Beef is offered
we understand what one is, except when it comes to God; Faith and spiritual things...
In order for me to get the beef I have to receive it...
Requirements do not nullify the free gift nor do requirements necessarily mean you earned it...
See also Jn 6:27; Jn 10:28; Ro 2:7; Ro 5:15–17; Eph 2:8–9; 1 Pe 3:7; 2 Pe 1:3
Eternal Life is a Gift from God however we must receive it.
It cannot be earned yet there is something for us to do.
Jesus is clear that He GIVES eternal life
Scripture is also clear that something is expected or something is necessary to receive the gift...
For more clarity about this spiritual gift, scripture is clear that it is free...
Another way to understand the free gift of God is to call it GRACE...
IV.
Received by faith
Jn 3:36 Faith in Jesus Christ, God’s son, is the only way to gain eternal life.
See also Jn 3:16; Jn 5:24; Jn 6:40; Jn 20:31; 1 Ti 1:16
